The boxer, who is on the verge of overcoming Floyd Mayweather’s record, survived the Colombian kidnapping situation.
Abel Mendoza, who pushed into a respected 42-0 record near half a century of Mayweather, was robbed when he competed outside his hometown. Mendoza presented that his personal rights were taken, but he managed to escape his life.
Mendoza conducted business as usual before winning in the sixth round over Yonnaiquer Rondon at the La Pradera club in Carmen de Apicala.
He told his fans: “I came back on December 7 in Bogota, Colombia🇨🇴 I want to give all the glory to God for reaching so far. I had many ups and downs, but I fought 41 times professionally without losing, it was a blessing. I have to thank the man upstairs for protecting and ensuring my safety. “
After an incredible attempt, Mendoza was glad that she had pulled this life, all the more since his previous statement.
He said: “It is complex to write, but I want to thank God so much for this victory, but for the fact that I could escape after kidnapping and robbing in Colombia.
“My money, jewelry and phone were taken, but my life was gone. I never thought I would see my family and friends again. I go through so much emotion through me. I am crazy and depressed, but also grateful for my wish. Love your loved ones because you never know your last day on this land. “
A few weeks after the incident, Mendoza spoke only to World Boxing News, having no idea what happened. Mendoza used the exhibition to emphasize his desire to ignore the comparisons with Mayweather.
Former Mayweather warrior, J’hon Ingram, then called the Mendosa record “Trash” and said that he would be open to fight him. Curmel Moton, which remains in the Mayweather stable, also used Emoji bin in the jump on the Mendozy album, which many called “padded” because of their opponents.
However, Mendose takes everything in his step. He knows that if he manages kidnapping in Colombia, he can cope with everything that every rival tries to withdraw.
The 29-year-old has a return to the ring this spring and can break the Mayweather record at 51-0 to 2028.
