Cruiserweight Yahu Gavriel Blackwell (3-1, 2KOs) is back in action this weekend in Mexico as he heads towards a WBC regional title clash.
'Jehovah' Blackwell, who is undefeated at cruiserweight, returns to the ring after a two year lay off this weekend in Mexico, and the Maryland native discussed his ring return.
Blackwell said, “I’m excited to get back in the ring and show my skills off. I have been working hard over the past two years and during the COVID-19 pandemic on improving my skills. And I’m excited to show off my improvements this weekend.
“I have to put on a good show this weekend. I have big plans in 2021, so I know that I have to put on a good show in Mexico to show that I am ready for titles in 2021.”
Blackwell has big plans in 2021 that involve a WBC regional title fight, and the 200 pounder discussed his plans in 2021.
He said, “I have a fight lined up in Las Vegas in 2021 against Sergio Ramirez. He has a good record and has fought some very good opponents and that is where I want to be in boxing. He has boxed fighters such as IBO world champion Kevin Lerena Oscar Rivas and Ronald Johnson. These are good fighters so this is an all or nothing fight.
“The fight will be for a WBC regional title and it’s a step closer to becoming world champion which is my goal. I fully believe that this fight will put me at a place which will show people that my record is not a true reflection on my ability and that I am far beyond my record in terms of skill.”
