Amsterdam hunts quarter-final spot today against Spain’s Jalidov in Tashkent

 ‘Dynamite’ Desmond Amsterdam will look to clinch a quarterfinal berth and join rarefied company when he enters the ring today at the ongoing IBA World Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The reigning Sportsman-of-the-Year winner, who progressed to the round-of-16 with a split decision win against Bulgaria’s Kristiyan Nikolov at the Humo Arena last Friday, will look to continue his winning ways against Spain’s Gafurova Jalidov.

Bell time is scheduled for 05:00hrs (local time).
