Brazilian super middleweight Yamaguchi “The Problem” Falcao will battle Ernest Amuzu on Sunday, December 11th at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The fight takes place as part of the WBA KO Drugs card, which precedes its annual convention. The show will air live on CBS Sports Network at 7 PM eastern. Fighting out of Florida, Falcao (23-1-1 with 9 KOs) last fought on October 29th, a one-sided victory against Alex Tehran. Originally from Ghana but now residing in Florida, Amuzu is 26-7 with 22 KOs. He’s battled several well-known boxers, including Ievgen Khytrov and Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic. Falcao-Amuzu is scheduled for ten rounds.

 

“This is Yama’s fifth fight of 2022 and I applaud Amuzu for taking the fight,” said Falcao’s promoter Jody Caliguire. We’re going to keep moving up the rankings so these top fighters will either have to fight us or vacate their belts. I’d also like to let it be known Team Falcao immediately accepted a fight with Jaime Mungia for November 19th, but they changed course on us and instead faced an overmatched opponent."

 

Caliguire also called out the WBA regular champion: “David Morrell is very talented and nobody else in the division seems willing to face him. We’d fight Morrell in his adopted hometown of Minnesota or anywhere in the world because we truly want the best!” 

 

The card is promoted by Boxlab Promotions. Falcao is promoted by Fire Fist Boxing Promotions.
