I have had a brilliant career so far with Assassin Boxing, and have had the chance of fighting on TG4, something I hope I will be able to do again. However this oppurtunity my team has delivered is truly amazing. To join up with someone like Joe DeGuardia who has worked with the very best boxers in The States, it’s all so amazing. To hear the plans that Joe and the guys have for me is unbeliable. No doubt the hard work starts now, and I know if I continue to dedicate myself, the oppurtunites are there for me, and I will prove I am one fo the best in the world.”
