/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ghana’s Joseph Agbeko, who retained his IBF
bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over Armenian-born
Australian Vic Darchinyan in Florida on Saturday, has commented on
the fight.
"He [Darchinyan] pushed me in the seventh round and throughout the
fight. He is very dirty and rough in the ring. I was fighting two
people in the ring: Darchinyan and the referee. But I didn’t care
if there were five people in the ring tonight, I was going in to win
and come back out with my championship belt," he said.
"I’m still the champion, not the chimpanzee he said I was. I have
always said I would carry the greatness of Ghana with me to the top
and that’s what I have done. I want to be considered among the top
pound for pound fighters in the world. I think I have earned it,"
Agbeko said.
