Corpus Christi, TX, USA (February 28, 2024) - Corpus Christi, Texas is gearing up for a decent night of heavyweight boxing as Stafford's own Efe Ajagba squares off against Las Vegas-based Guido Vianello in a 10-round bout. This clash promises fireworks as the two heavyweights are both in a must-win situation. The bout will co-feature alongside Jared Anderson's clash with Ryad Merhy who recently defeated Tony Yoka.
Stafford, Texas-based Efe Ajagba, boasting a record of 19-1 with 14 knockouts, enters the ring on the back of a four-fight winning streak. Hailing from Ughelli, Nigeria, the 29-year-old pugilist showcased his prowess last November with a dominating TKO victory over Joseph Goodall in the fourth round, solidifying his status as a force just outside the top 10.
Las Vegas-based Guido Vianello, aged 29 with a professional record of 12-1-1 and 10 knockouts to his name, brings his own brand of snap and skill to the ring. The Italian native from Roma is fresh off two consecutive victories, including a spectacular TKO triumph in the first round against Moses Johnson on the Foster vs Nova card in February. Vianello's swift rebound from his loss on cuts to Jonathan Rice positions him as a reasonable challenger for Ajagba.
News of the Ajagba vs Vianello showdown was first reported by boxing insider Mike Coppinger. With both fighters hungry for victory and eager to make a statement, fans can expect some decent fireworks.
In the main event, undefeated Jared Anderson from Toledo, Ohio, with an impressive record of 16-0 and 15 knockouts, faces off against former WBA cruiserweight champion Ryad Merhy of Belgium.
