Argentine boxing sensation José “Sansón” Rosa is set to make his international debut in Samara, Russia, as he squares off against unbeaten local fighter Khariton Agrba on today, Monday, November 4. With a record of 27-0-0, Rosa, 24, aims to continue his winning streak and elevate his career in a significant way.
Rosa, hailing from La Rioja, Argentina, has been on a Knockout tear in 2024, dispatching notable opponents like Edwin Bennett, Juan Ramón Guzmán, and Jovanni Straffon—all foreign challengers he overwhelmed with relative ease. After his emotional win over Straffon in August, Rosa expressed a deep desire to fight abroad for both financial rewards and career advancement. Now, he gets his chance against Agrba, who boasts an impressive 17-0-0 record and has Knocked Out 9 of his opponents.
The fight is part of the IBA’s Noche de Campeones event, where the winner will ascend to the second spot in the WBA Super Lightweight rankings. Currently, Rosa ranks 13th, while Agrba sits just behind him at 14th. This matchup is critical, as the WBA titleholder in the division is Mexican boxer José “Rayo” Valenzuela, making it a potentially lucrative opportunity for the victor.
With stakes high and both fighters eager to prove their mettle, this fight is not to be missed. Will Rosa secure his place among the elite in super lightweight boxing, or will Agrba defend his home turf? Fajador.co will keep you in the loop of any updates on this!
