Why did you start boxing and how old were you?
I started boxing because I wanted to challenge myself. I was 20 years old when I started fighting.
Who is your favorite striker of all time and why?
Muhammad Ali. Although he was around before my time, his charm and skill were captivating. Also, what he had to overcome outside the ring and what he stood for was deeply motivating.
What’s the best fight you’ve seen, live or on TV?
Oleksandr Usyk vs Mairis Briedis. It was an endless battle at the highest level of skill. That was amazing to watch.

What is your best achievement in boxing so far?
I would personally say it is my physical and mental development through boxing. Great achievements await (lol).
Who is the toughest opponent you have faced and why?
Devorn Miller.
What are your strengths and weaknesses as a boxer?
My strength is my speed and economy and my heart. I don’t want to reveal any weakness; I work on my weakness until it becomes strength!
What is your best boxing training advice?
Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard.
What is your favorite food and restaurant?
That’s a tough one! But I’ll go with the turkey grill chicken and lamb with salad.
Who are your best friends in boxing?
My best friend in boxing is my coach, Matthew Hirst. There are not many friends in this business. A representative business.
What other athlete would you like to be?
Cristiano Ronaldo.
What is one thing you would change about professional boxing?
Judicial system. There are too many hacks that can seriously damage the career of many fighters.
Which actor would play you in the movie of your life?
Dwayne Johnson.
Have you ever wondered? If so, who was the star?
I was star struck when I saw Tyson Fury outside Wembley Stadium. His height above his shield is what did it for me (lol).
What is the best advice you ever received?
A person who controls nothing will fall into everything.

I was lucky enough to not have any rumors about me. None of them got back to me though.
