The way I see it, Taras has everything to lose and I fight as I have nothing to lose.’’

“I’ve been training very seriously and I’m excited to be able to showcase my skills on television. I grew up watching СхоБок. There will be more eyes on me and they will see my ability to fight. Getting a win will increase my ranking and open up more doors for my career.”

That is what I train to do, that is what I am going to do.

“As a man who has been boxing for over 22 године, I feel extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity. In my previous СхоБок борба, I was labeled as the underdog. Those who doubted me quickly changed their opinions once they saw me fight, and even more so once the referee raised my hand in victory.’’

I was training in Las Vegas and now I am back in New York with Sharif Younan and I am ready to do everything I can to win this fight.

“This is the exposure and opportunity I’ve been waiting for. I just want to pick up these WBC titles that we are fighting for and be bumped up the rankings. Once I pick up these belts, I will be in the top 10 and anything is possible.’’
