11/01/2009 LAS VEGAS — Ghana’s Joseph Agbeko will make the third defense of his International Boxing Federation bantamweight title when he faces Colombian challenger Yonnhy Perez Saturday. Agbeko (27-1, 22 KOs) captured the title two years ago when he stopped Luis Alberto Perez in the seventh round. The 29-year-old’s first defense came in a thrilling win over William Gonzalez and he followed that up with another impressive upset victory over three-time world champion Vic Darchinyan in July. “I don’t care how many more fights it will take, but my goal is to be the number one fighter pound-for-pound in the world,” the Ghana southpaw Agbeko said. “There are a lot of great fighters but I feel I’m the best. I am not looking past Perez, but I am willing to fight anybody to prove I am the best.” AFP
