Former IBF featherweight champion Billy “The Kid” Dib (47-6, 27 KOs) returns to action on Saturday against unbeaten WBO #5, IBF #9 lightweight Jacob Ng (15-0, 11 KOs) at The Star, Gold Coast, Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia.
“The impossible has been made possible simply with the mindset that my back is up against the wall,” Dib tweeted. “March 19th no stone left unturned…my hard work in camp is already paying dividends. I’ll be skipping no meals, drinking plenty of water, tapering off my training feeling strong, refreshed & healthy all week, to feel sharp on fight night. Good luck Jacob, we all know the first fight for you is with the scales.”
dib is good fighter but if he loses here and he probably will might be time to retire had a good run but at 36 and being a lighter weight its just about it in a general sense a lot of fights
Two last names, five letters total. Gotta be some kind of record. Shortest marquee ever.
Guess he has moved to the stepping stone category for young up and comers. Was a decent fighter in Australia in his prime but always seemed to get beaten in those step up fights and did take a couple beatings
