The undefeated 2016 Olympic champion, Ajagba, is regarded as the biggest puncher at his level but his 12 KOs are matched by Sanchez’ 13. The Cuban will need to avoid that Nigerian right hand if he’s going to stay standing and will have to draw on all his experience to do so.

Anderson is 9-0 and all knockouts which has some predicting big things for his future, currently just 21 years old. The 6’4” American has been getting fairly average opponents thus far as he builds a career, and theRussian Tereshkin will have his work cut out.
