Ghanaian boxer, Sena “The African Assassin” Agbeko is happy he will get the chance to fight for a world title later this month and is relishing the challenge against undefeated Cuban southpaw, David Morrell.
The 31-year-old is scheduled to fight against WBA Super middleweight champion, Morrell on the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia undercard on April 22 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA.
Agbeko rolls into the headline undercard fight as the WBC United States Super middleweight champion after beating Winfred Harris Jr. via technical knockout.

Ahead of the big fight, Agbeko stated: “This is a stern test against one of the best super middleweights in the world in the co-main event of the biggest fight of the year. This is an opportunity that I relish greatly and is exactly how I envisioned winning the belt.
“I’ve had a long journey to get to this point, but I’ve always trained like a guy with a target on my back. I want to win the belt and be the fighter that everyone is going after,” he said, according to BoxingScene.
