A Significant Clash

World Champion Crowned
In September 2007, Agbeko ascended to the pinnacle of his career. He challenged IBF bantamweight champion Luis Alberto Perez of Nicaragua. Dominating throughout the fight with precise punches, Agbeko forced the fight to be stopped due to Perez's eye injuries, securing the world championship title.
