Efe Ajagba: Nigerian monster set for return against Zhan Kossobutskiy

On August 26th, Nigerian giant Efe Ajagba takes on Zhan Kossobutskiy. The big boys will be out in full form on August 26 as Jared Anderson takes against Andriy Rudenko. According to a Top Rank statement today, Nigeria's Efe Ajagba will fight Zhan Kossobutskiy in the co-feature of the three-bout ESPN program. Ajagba appeared to have reached his potential in a disappointing 2021 loss against Frank Sanchez. In a get-well bout, he knocked out Jozsef Darmos before grinding out a 50/50 match with Stephan Shaw in January.Despite being unlikely to become a legitimate contender, he is by far Kossobutskiy's hardest opponent yet. Prior to encountering visa complications, Anderson and the Kazakh star were supposed to meet on January 1. Since Kossobutskiy had never faced Anderson before, Top Rank probably should have scheduled this fight sooner.
