LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ALL AUSSIE SUPER FIGHT WORLD RATED REAGAN DESSAIX TAKES ON WORLD RATED CAPARELLO FRIDAY IN MELBOURNE PhilBoxing.com Wed, 20 Feb 2019  Brisbane Light Heavyweight Reagan Dessaix takes a jump up in class as he takes on former IBO World Light Heavyweight Champion Blake Caparello at The Melbourne Pavillion this coming Friday. The pair will contest the WBA Oceania Light Heavyweight title, in what is a real crossroads fight for the Australian duo. Dessaix discussed his feelings on the former world champion Caparello as he winds down training ahead of the biggest fight of his career. The 22-year-old said, ?Caparello has only had 3 losses in his career against world class fighter in Sergey Kovalev, Isaac Chilemba and Andre Dirrell. That is nothing to be ashamed of. ?I believe I am a top-level fighter, and I?ve been the underdog many times before including my last fight. This is nothing new to me. It?s about me going in there and proving that I am a top-level Light Heavyweight which I believe I am. ?If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. There is no point in cutting corners in this game and I don?t intend on doing that. Blake has been a world champion but it?s time for me to show that there is a new kid on the block on the World Light Heavyweight scene.? Dessaix is managed alongside the heralded Moloney brothers by Australian Boxing Supremo Tony Tolj. Dessaix discussed life alongside the Moloney?s and under the guidance of Tolj. The multi-time WBA and IBF regional title holder said, ?I got a lot from being around Jason Moloney during the World Boxing Super Series. It was a great learning experience and it gave me a lot of belief in myself that I can reach those heights. ?Since I linked up with Tony I?ve been guided perfectly and I?ve gone from strength to strength. He?s got me the right fights at the right time and I believe he has made a fight that is Australia?s number 1 and 2 Light Heavyweights clashing on Friday night, and I know the result will see me become Australia?s number 1 Light Heavyweight.?  |
