Undefeated junior middleweight contender Kanat Islam will look to keep his momentum rolling when he enters the ring against Jonathan Batista on Saturday in one of the featured undercard battles of Premier Boxing Champions’ next PBC on NBCSN event.
Set to be held at Miccosukee Gaming Resort in Miami, Fla., the 2008 Olympian is hoping to open more eyes to his abilities against Batista (15-7, 8 KOs). Islam has looked terrific thus far, and the Chinese fighter has knocked out almost everybody he’s faced. Islam (19-0, 16 KOs) hasn’t yet faced any world-rated opposition but the notion is if he’s triumphant against Batista, the caliber of his foes will immediately increase.
