While it has been official for a while that Fawaz Nasir will participate in the KO Boxing World Series in Macao, China on May 10, Risum Boxing can now announce that two more of the Danish-based company’s fighters will join the super middleweight contender in the tournament.

Kenyans Samson “The Hammer” Onyango, 13-2 (10), and “Jesse” James Kimori, 7-0 (5), are also set for the event at the luxurious Venetian Casino and Resort next month.

Kimori will, as it looks at the moment, fight fellow unbeaten Czech Bronislav Kubin, 3-0 (1), in what looks like a winnable assignment at light middleweight, and Onyango could be in with unbeaten American Maurice Louishome, 6-0 (4), although this is not 100 % confirmed. Opponent for Nasir is also still to be solidified, but should be in place soon.

Like Nasir, Onyango is a super middleweight, and therefore it is possible that the two Risum Boxing fighters could face each other soon. If both win in Macao, they will fight semi finals in July in Croatia against quarter-final winners from a KO World Series event to be held in New Zeland on May 2, and, if both win those, it will be Nasir vs. Onyango in the final in Las Vegas in September.

A dream scenario, of course, but manager Henrik Risum is aiming high: “Anything can happen in boxing as we all know, and of course our goal is that all three goes through to the semi finals, and I believe it is a realistic goal. However, whatever happens, this is truly a magnificent opportunity for them all to make a shortcut to even bigger things in the future, and I am confident everybody will fight their hearts out to be successful”.

The eventual winners of the KO Boxing World Series finals in Las Vegas are then supposed to fight either a 12 round title fight or a 10 round bout against a "Top 10 Contender" on a major event in Prague, Czech Republic in late October, which could, depending on the opponent, lead to a "world title fight".

But first things first, and the adventure starts on May 10 for Nasir, Onyango and Kimori!
