Yusaf Mack vows to win IBF Light Heavyweight title against Tavoris Cloud – Boxing news
American professional boxer, Yusaf Mack, who fights in the Middleweight, Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions, is hopeful to win his 12-round competitive bout against American Light Heavyweight contender, Tavoris Karod Cloud.
The encounter is scheduled to take place for the IBF Light Heavyweight belt on June 25, 2011 at the Family Arena in Missouri, United States.
While speaking to the media about his upcoming fight, Mack said, “My dad passed away about 2 years ago. On his deathbed, he said he wanted me to be world champ, so I promised him that. And that's what I've got to do.”
The 31-year-old veteran, Mack, has been an outstanding performer since he joined the boxing world. His notable fights are when he went against Alejandro Berrio, Librado Andrade, Daniel Judah, Omer Pittman and Glen Johnson. The Orthodox stance Mack went against
33 opponents in total of which he beat 28 fighters, scoring 17 knockout decisions with three losses and 2 draws in his professional boxing career.
Mack is returning to the ring after winning a 12-round points decision over Otis Griffin. The two fighters went close to each other in ring for USBA Light Heavyweight title on March 4, 2011 at the Warner Centre Marriot in California, United States.
The 29-year-old fighter in the opposition Tavoris ‘Thunder’ Cloud is up for the task as he said, “I'm not thinking about those fights right now, the only fight I'm thinking about is Yusaf Mack. I plan on staying at light-heavyweight, running the division
and unifying as many titles as I can. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be here for a while.”
Orthodox stance Cloud has won all of his 22 fights including 18 knockout victories in his career. Cloud is returning to the ring after winning a unanimous points decision over Colombian Light Heavyweight Fulgencio Zuniga in December 2010.
Hopefully, Mack will prove to be a difficult contender for Cloud and the results will be in favour of Mack as he has promised so.
