3-Time Olympian Anvar Yunusov Ready For Carlos Colon Next Friday Night at SugarHouse Casino PhilBoxing.com Sat, 23 Mar 2019 Philadelphia, PA (March 22, 2019) -Three-Time Olympian, Anvar Yunusov (6-0, 3 KOs) is is looking to go big game hunting as he prepares for his main event battle with Puerto Rico's Carlos Colon (5-1, 3 KOs) in an eight-round bout that will take place next Friday night at SugarHouse Casino. Yunusov, who has been training at Philly's Next Champ "My training has been good. I have been sparring with (IBF Super Featherweight World Champion) Tevin Farmer. It was good and tough sparring. I feel that has been getting me stronger and stronger," said Yunusov. When it comes to Colon, Yunusov does not know much, but that doesn't seem to faze the 32 year-old, who represented Tajikistan in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. "I just know he is from Puerto Rico. It has been tough to find information on him, but I know he has not fought in America." After fighting four times in 2018, Yunusov will be making his 2019 debut, and he feels that despite just having six fights, he is close to major fights due to his extensive amateur career. "I feel everything has gone well. I have a great promoter in Marshall Kauffman and King's Promotions. He is the best promoter around, and he has kept me busy." "This will be a great fight, and I will excite the fans. I love to fight, and am always in good shape. My goal is to fight Leo Santa Cruz for the world title."
