WBC ranking update, “King Tug” climbs to top spot in featherweight www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Silver medalist of London-2012 Summer Olympics, State Honored Athlete Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar (11-1-0, 9KOs) will face Mexican boxer Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (23-2-3, 10KOs) for 12-round bout on September 19 in Uncasville, Connecticut at “Mohegan Sun Arena”.
After becoming the IBO (International Boxing Organization) Featherweight Champion in 2019, N.Tugstsogt challenged WBC featherweight titlist Gary Russel Jr. in February, 2020 whom he lost by unanimous decision, losing for the first time in his professional boxing career.
The WBC (World Boxing Council), last week, updated the rankings of boxers, announcing Tugstsogt’s top spot in featherweight.
Specifically, Jessie Magdaleno (28-1, 18KOs), who formerly held the number one spot in featherweight ranking, is now scheduled to fight Emanuel Navarrete (32-1, 28KOs) for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight title this October which elevated Tugstsogt’s ranking to the top spot.
If Tugstsogt wins his fight against Eduardo Ramirez, he will be able to challenge Gary Russel Jr. once more for the WBC title.
