Sharif ‘The Lion’ Bogere believes the best of him is still right around the corner as he waits for another challenge for a world title fight. The 23 year old withdrew from his WBA world light middleweight title fight against Richard Abril.
Bogere and the 30-year-old Cuban were scheduled later this month. The US based fighter tore an achilles tendon in his left leg during training on Monday.
“Am human things like injuries are bound to happen but I will bounce back stronger and better,” Bogere said yesterday in a telephone interview from Las Vegas base.
Bogere plans to bounce back as a better and stronger fighter as his promoters plan for a reschedule early next year. “I think it’s a question of being fit. And the way I have been training I won’t lose much during this time of recovering,” Bogere added.
Bogere has 15 stoppages on a perfect 23 record fight to date with five of his last outings ending before the end of the third round. He has boxed 79 rounds with a 65.22% knock out record.
