"Galal Yafai eagerly anticipates electrifying clash with Kenshiro Teraji"
After a stellar performance against Sunny Edwards, Galal Yafai clinched his ninth professional win and the WBC interim flyweight title. Despite this victory, Yafai remains humble about his next opponent, Kenshiro Teraji. "I’d like to think [Teraji will be next], but you never know in boxing," Yafai shared.
Looking ahead, Yafai is gearing up for his next fight, possibly in March or April. He hopes to fight in his hometown of Birmingham, where he feels the strongest and most comfortable. Reflecting on his past fights abroad, Yafai admits, "I just feel much better at home."
As for future matchups, Yafai is open to facing top contenders like Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez but remains focused on becoming the full champion. "I want to be the full champion. I know people are shouting about the Bam Rodriguez fight – if that can happen in the future, brilliant," he expressed.
Yafai trusts his team to handle the matchmaking details while he enjoys a well-deserved break in Dubai with his family. With his eyes set on the prize, Yafai is ready to take on any challenge that comes his way, whether it's in his backyard or abroad.
