Lorusso is confident in his ability to defeat his opponent: “I know everything there is to know about Thomas Essomba.” I know where he practices, who his sparring partners are, and the calibre of the boxers who beat him because I’ve witnessed his fights. Thoams Essomba, in my opinion, is better than his record suggests. He was defeated on points by Sunny Edwards, who went on to win the IBF World Flyweight Title and remains undefeated (19-0). Essomba lost a split decision to another high-level opponent, Marcel Braithwaite. Overall, Thomas Essomba deserves to be respected.”
