Gambian boxer Badou Jack is ardent on defending his World Boxing Council Supper middle weight belt this 
month.
The 31-year-old fiery ring ace, who calls himself as ‘The Ripper’, will get a first taste of what it is like to defend a world boxing title when crossing daggers with two-time super middle weight world champion George Groves.
Badou claimed the world belt from Anthony Dirrel on a majority decision. The bout slated for September 12th, is touted to be a must-watch with both fighters being champions. Groves has two defeats under his belt despite being a two-time world champion while Badou is beaten only once with a single draw in twenty-one bouts boasting 19 wins 12 on knockouts.
The pair has vowed to undo each other on the day of the occasion in their pre-match war of words.

Jatta though hopes to re-launch his career as he continues to sweat it out in training session.
Jack was Gambia’s captain in 2008 Beijing Olympics.]]>
