\nEver vibrant and never backing down from a fight, Paulus Ambunda, will be looking to prove that age is just a number when he takes on 24-year-old Stephen Fulton for the IBO Super Bantamweight World Title on 11 May in Washington.
\nAmbunda who is the current IBO Super Bantamweight World champion, said that he will be leaving on Sunday to prepare for the biggest fight of his life against the American youngster who has 15 fights and victories to his name.
\nDuring a press briefing in Windhoek where he flexed some muscle and showed the nation on what to expect, Ambunda said that he is still the lion of Africa and is ready and fully fit for the fight.
\n\u201cI am very well prepared, 100 percent fit and with no injuries. I am looking to bring my title back home as I am still the lion of Africa.\u201d He said.
\nHe said that he along with members of his training camp have studied some videos of his opponent and that he know what the task at hand entails.
\n\u201cI have checked out his videos. He is young and tough but I am sure he has never been tested. So I need to make sure that I take care of him from the first round until the last round and retain my title,\u201d he said.
\nHe also said that, his age is not a factor as he still has the prowess to fight in the ring.
\n\u201cThe boy is young and hungry to become champion but I have been there and I will also be there. America is like my village (Omusimboti) and I will go into the fight like a warrior going to war and bring the title back home,\u201d Ambunda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
