Ajose takes on Matthysse on Sept. 8

Randall Bailey pulling out of his fight with Devon Alexander was a blow to the September 8 card at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. But the next best thing may actually be a better fight.

WBC super lightweight contender Olusegun Ajose (30-0, 14 KOs) will take on Lucas Matthysse (31-2, 29 KOs) live on Showtime’s Championship Boxing on Saturday night. It should be an interesting bout as Ajose will be fighting in the United States for just the second time in his career.

Ajose took time out of training schedule to answer a few questions about Saturday’s bout.
