“I’m in this sport to fight the best and that’s what excites me, and I am very confident with my skills and believe I will be a world champion.

“I did karate before boxing for around four to five years and won a few competitions, then started boxing at the age of 12 and since that I’ve never looked back.

“I’d like to make my professional debut either in December or early next year, I’m itching to get out and fight I’m still young, so I’m not in any rush, I just want to get a few fights under my belt, get some experience and stay busy. Then I’ll start knocking on the doors of titles.”
