Erdenebat, a southpaw with fists as tough as the Mongolian grassland he grew up on, has been on a tear this year. This bout marks his fourth fight in 2023, fresh off a 10-round points triumph over Wensong Liu in September. Despite his career being just a few rounds old, he’s already shown he can hang with the big dogs, diving into a 10-rounder in only his second pro fight.
Vasquez, a Dominican powerhouse now fighting out of The Bronx, is bouncing back from a gritty 10-round decision loss to the undefeated Filipino Charly Suarez in Tulsa, OK.
Erdenebat, fueled by the spirit of the Mongolian countryside and his herding days, is eyeing a big finish. “I want to end the year with a bang,” he declared. “Vasquez has never been knocked out, but I’m aiming to change that. I won’t force it, though. If the KO comes, it comes. Otherwise, I’ll rely on my skills, experience, and raw power to run the show. I’m ready for an all-out eight-round battle.”
He’s not just looking for a win; Erdenebat wants to send a message. “I’m here to impress and pave my way to tougher fights. This one’s my statement.”
Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, recognizes the gravity of this fight for Erdenebat. “Stepping into his first main event against a seasoned opponent is a big deal for Tsendbaatar. He’s got power, guts, and a style that fans love. He’s on track to be a world-class contender.”
Growing up among the rolling hills of Mongolia, Erdenebat’s early life of herding horses and livestock forged his renowned strength. A two-time Olympian, he represented Mongolia in both the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Games. With an impressive amateur record of 147-41, including 11 Mongolian National titles and multiple golds at Asian championships, Erdenebat’s transition to the pro ranks has been nothing short of spectacular. Now, he’s ready to add another victory to his already impressive resume.
