When you think of Camden, New Jersey fighters, Jersey Joe Walcott, and Dwight Muhammad Qawi. Slowly rising to Camden prominence is WBA featherweight champion, Raymond Ford. The undefeated (15-0-1) Ford placed himself in a great position with his recent 12th round knockout of previously undefeated Otabek Kholmatov.
Down on the cards, Ford forced the referee to stop the encounter with 7 seconds left in the fight. A fight that, up to this point, falls into the “Fight of the Year,” category. Hoping to capitalize on his performance, Ford is eyeing a summer return to the ring. Contemplating a move up to 130, “Savage” hints at possibly having one more featherweight in him before his ascension to super featherweight. Ford talks about his come from behind victory, future plans, and much more.
