“I’m so humbled and happy that both the IBF and WBC have considered me [to fight for their title],” Dib told ESPN.com. “I have decided to go with the WBC option as I feel it’s an opportunity to prove I belong with the best of my division.”
“I want to face the best, and I know if I can dethrone Miura, I will be given that opportunity to once again be on the big stage,” Dib said.
