After winning the IBO World Featherweight title last Friday night with a vicious 8th round knockout of Mexican Heriberto Ruiz,  “Action Jackson” Asiku wants to fight the “Cuban cyclone” Yuriorkis Gamboa.

“I have finally got my belt, I knew it would come but I will not stop there, I want more belts I want the WBA belt and I think Gamboa and myself will produce one of the greatest bouts you would ever see. Someone would go down in an explosive brutal contest, the fans would love it and I will have two belts." - Asiku

Asiku was full of confidence; he also said he would defend his title in Uganda until he can get a unification bout, with Gamboa being his first choice.

When asked about WBA Featherweight Super Champion Chris John he said he could not fight him because they have the same trainer and manager but “it would be good if I got two belts and Chris John had two. Chris John helped me to be the champion that I am today and if we keep on helping each other we will never be beaten”.

I agree with Asiku on one thing Asiku v Gamboa would be a great fight but I think the Cuban would be the last man standing. Asku plans on visiting Uganda and defending his title in February in Uganda.
