“I was excited to be back, winning the fight against a really tough guy, I knew that maybe the fight would be a little tied up. I don't know, at some point I thought I was in Brazil and I was looking for fans and that happened... Then when I saw that I apologized, I thought: 'Apologize for what?'. You can boo there, the crowd is angry! Before it was the biggest silence in the arena, you can boo, I'm excited!”, said Durinho.

Current number two in the welterweight rankings, Gilbert Durinho recovered from defeat to the champion Kamaru Usman, in February of this year. The Brazilian fighter is in an excellent phase in his career and has won seven of his last eight fights. The fighter has a record of 20 triumphs and four setbacks.
