INTERNATIONAL Boxing Federation Inter-Continental bantamweight champion Guyanese Elton Dharry will step back into the ring on June 12. Dharry is down to battle Puerto Rican Miguel Robles in an eight-rounder set for the Amazura Concert Hall in Queens, New York.
The fight would be the second for this year for the 29-year-old Guyanese who is four year Robles’ junior. The Puerto Rican is a former World Boxing Council FECARBOX super flyweight champion and carries a record of 12-4-2.
Dharry is 18-5-1, but has not lost a bout in six years and is on a 15-bout winning streak. He won the vacant Inter-Continental title following a unanimous decision over Nicaraguan Jose Rios in St Maarten last December.
The win has inched the skilful fighter closer to his goal of fighting for and winning a world title. Dharry is based in the U.S.
His last defeat came in September 2009 when he dropped a four-round decision to Puerto Rican Isander Beauchamp.
