Career
In an interview he revealed how he first got involved in boxing as a way of losing weight, having weighed 105kg when he was just 15. He said:
When I got to the UK I attended the John Madejski Sports Academy. I became interested in boxing at the age of 15 because I was overweight and weighing around 105kg so I wanted to lose weight and I went to the local amateur boxing club called Reading Amateur Boxing Club and that’s where I started my training.
He turned professional on 7 July 2012 and currently has 16 wins, 4 of which are knockouts.[2] In May 2015 he beat former English champion Erick Ochieng at the York Hall venue in Bethnal Green, London to secure the Southern Area title.[3]
