Chris Colbert feels like critics don't give him the respect that he rightfully deserves in boxing.
Well, Colbert will look to take a step toward gaining that and growing his star power Saturday night, when he defends his WBA interim junior lightweight championship against rugged Mongolian contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.
"They don't respect what I've done in my 15 fights," the undefeated Colbert told DAZN News earlier in the week. "Because if that were the case, I'd be a big superstar already."
He added: "I'm bringing the style, the flash, the speed, the power ... I'm bringing everything Saturday night."
Colbert is coming off an electric 11th-round TKO of Jaime Arboleda in December.
The 24-year-old Brooklyn fighter was originally slated to clash with Yuriorkis Gamboa before the Cuban fighter suffered an injury and was replaced by Nyambayar.
Will Colbert shine and display all of his boxing skills in another title defense, or will Nyambayar pull off the upset and leave with the WBA interim junior lightweight title in tow?
