Swedish Badou Jack became world champion – Aftonbladet

Badou Jack’s sensational victory over American champion Anthony Dirrell on points after twelve välboxade rounds in Chicago.

– A great feeling. I have worked all my life for this, says Badou Jack Sportbladet.

13 boxing champion – so went there late

WBC super-middleweight title in a really great title. It’s a Swedish’ve had since Ingemar Johansson became the heavyweight champion 1959th

– It feels good but we have had many other good boxer, George Scott, for example. I do not compete with them to become the best Swedish. I’ll be the best in the world and now I have the heaviest belt you can have in boxing. WBC’s, says Badou.

Jack dominated the game from round one when he defended himself skillfully against the American’s attempt to gain a quick knockout.

– He thought he would stop me in round one or two, but I have met boxer who hits harder than he does and was well prepared. I took my time and broke him down with my body type.

– It felt good all the time even though I did not do a one hundred percent match. I can much better, promising Badou Jack.

“behaved like idiots”

Before the match, the opponent used the stables much trash talk to disrupt Badou.

– They kept barking like dogs against me at the weigh-in and behaved like idiots. Unfortunately, in boxing. Very bullshit, but it is not affecting me at all.

“Home and thank Floyd”

Recital country was referring to Anthony Dirrells nicknamed The Dog, Dog. And most scolded Anthony’s brother Andre Badou Jack sparred against when he was discovered by superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ended up in Mr. Money’s Las Vegas Stall.

– Now I’m going home to Las Vegas to thank Floyd and prop him before His match against Manny Pacquiao next Saturday. Without Floyd, I had never been given this chance. I had a lot of problems with managers and others before Floyd took me into his stable.

“Just another thing to defend”

Now, Badou look forward to a really great future in the professional ring . With the heavy WBC belt he aims in on a title match against George Groves is considered the best in the world in the weight class. A match that will give Badou Jack a multi-million income.

– We pulled in 1.8 million dollars for this game. Next game will provide many times more. But now it must first be a little vacation, notes Badou Jack who know that the wind blows hard on the top:

– It is a ploy to win the title, quite another to defend it. But I’ll do it.
