WEDNESDAY, 1.30PM:
ITALIAN boxing trainer Roberto Agostini has tipped South Africa’s Peter Malinga to win his title fight against the WBU welterweight champion Alessandro Duran in Sicily on Wednesday night. Malinga has been working out at Agostini’s gymnasium during the week.
“This Malinga is good, very good,” said Agostini. “He throws good short punches and that is how you beat Duran. You can’t box him away at a long range.”
Agostini said Malinga is in good shape: “His condition is top. I think he will win the title.”
