Interim WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Gary Antonio Russell joins Wole for an exclusive interview to discuss becoming a world champion, his dominant victory over Victor Santillan, what’s next in his career and much more.

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native captured the Interim WBA Super Bantamweight Championship in August after defeating Victor Santillan by unanimous decision at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Russell controlled the fight with his speed, combinations, defense and ring IQ before putting an exclamation point on the performance by dropping Santillan with a counter right hook early in the 12th round.

Russell improved to 22-1 with 13 knockouts and added another world championship to one of the DMV's most accomplished boxing families. His brother and former featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr. was in his corner for the championship victory, while his brother Gary Antuanne Russell is also a world champion.
