Ambunda vows to go after Kameda brothers
WBO bantamweight champion Paulos “The Rock” Ambunda of Namibia is confident he can beat Tomoki Kameda in the main event of “Battle of the Undefeated” on Aug. 1 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
And if he does beat Tomoki, he said he’s not stopping there. In fact, he’s planning to go after the Tomoki’s world champion brothers, Koki and Daiki, if given the chance.
“I am the rock. It’s not easy to break a rock,” said Ambunda. “I know that he wants to make history but I will make sure that it will only happen in his dreams.”
What the 22-year-old Tomoki Kameda (22-0, 10KOs) is chasing is the chance to make history as the first boxing brothers to win world titles.
The 26-year-old Koki (31-1, 17KOs), the eldest among the Kameda fighting brothers, recently retained his WBA World Bantamweight title against Filipino John Mark Apolinario in Tokyo, Japan via unanimous decision. The 24-year-old Daiki Kameda (28-3, 18KOs) is a former WBA flyweight champion and is set to fight Mexican Rodrigo Guerrero for the vacant IBF Super flyweight title this Sept. 3 in Kagawa, Japan.
But Ambunda said he will try his best to deny the Kamedas from making history.
To achieve this, he has to get by Tomoki first and he is quite confident he will win.
In yesterday’s public workout at the Rex Wakee Salud Gym in Punta Princesa, Ambunda said he will punish the young Kameda.
“Young boy (Kameda), I’m here now. I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget and I will give you an early retirement,” said Ambunda, who won the WBO bantamweight title against Thai Pong Luang Sor Singyu.
“I want to fight the best to become the best. I even want to fight Filipino Nonito Donaire, if I am given the chance.” added Ambunda, who idolizes Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.
