Gifted Cole, who increased his victories to 12 to rank 13th in the world after knocking out Mexican champion Yair Agular in round three of a 10-round WBF Title fight in Atlanta last month.

The America-based Abia state Nigerian boxer while speaking to sports Vanguard at his Festac residence in Lagos on Sunday, Gifted expressed happiness that he won his last fight, declaring that he wants more titles to improve on his ranking.

“I’m glad I defeated Agular in my last fight, that was behind me now because I still have six fights to contend with this year.

“I have fights in Russia, Germany, Croatia, Austria and Mexico, and hopefully, I want to add them to my previous titles. After that, I will need just three more to make my titles 20, so I can rise to the top, where I can challenge for the ultimate WBF title. So I am looking up to one of the most Dangerous Boxer, they call him Tripple G.  I am looking forward to fighting a boxer like that so that Nigerians  and the world will really know who Gifted is”, he said.

The solidly built boxer was in Lagos at the weekend to present his title belt as a special 40th Wedding Anniversary gift to his parents, Rev Omeaku and Juliana Cole Chiori.

He said, “I salute my dad and mum for achieving this milestone, I actually came to Lagos to honour their 40th wedding anniversary and I’m excited to present my WBF belt to them as a gift, that was my promise to my parents before the fight”.
