By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
WBO #2 Jeff Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs) will be sparring with WBA #4 light-welterweight Czar Amonsot (34-3-3, 22 KOs) this week to step up preparation for his July 2 WBO welterweight challenge against Manny Pacquiao at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Australia Grantlee Kieza of the Courier Mail has reported.
Horn’s team is also negotiating with Kostya Tszyu’s old rival, former world champ Zab Judah from New York, to be another sparring partner after Olympic great Vasyl Lomachenko finally rejected an offer to visit Brisbane.
“I think Czar will be great sparring for Jeff,” Horn’s trainer Glenn Rushton said. “He’s been undefeated for years and is a former Pacquiao sparring partner. He’s tough and aggressive and fight fit!”
