… excited to have jumped two places up world ranking

ELTON Dharry will return to the ring this December for his third fight in 2018 and, as his previous two bouts, he is confident of a victory.

Dharry, the WBC CABOFE and IBF Inter-Continental bantamweight champion, got past Venezuelan Jesus Vargas-Garcia in January in Georgetown and Oscar Mojica via a unanimous decision on May 18 in Queens, NY.

Those two victories became his 19th and 20th consecutive wins and carried the Leguan-born fighter’s record up to 23 wins, 14 of which are by knockouts, five losses and one draw.

The 32-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and his latest ranking in the World Boxing Association (WBA) super flyweight division proves it.  The ace boxer is currently ranked an impressive 10th, his highest placement to date.

“I should have been higher, but it is a good feeling to crack the top 10. I am thankful for where I am at,” Dharry told the Guyana Chronicle.

Dharry, who has fought professionally for the last 14 years, was out of the top 15 in March, but reached 14th in April, before he dropped to 12th in May after his fought with the Mexican Mojica.

Although he is yet to finalise his next bout, he did confirm that it would be held in New York on December 7.
