“I learned in my fights, because I have a lot of scars [he points to his eyebrows]. And I fought with good heavyweights, with good guys. I did 10 rounds with Efe Ajagba. I think that fight was for me [he should have got the decision]. But anyway, I lost by split decision and I learned in this fight what it means to fight in 10 rounds in long distance. All the fights that I had in my past taught me something. Then, when they saw that when you lost, you go back for 10 steps. And when you win, you can go over [up the ranks]. I understand the business of boxing. So you cannot lose time. For this, now I’m 32. I have this new start with my new promoter [Queensberry]. And I know that I cannot lose time. So now I want to do this UK debut because it’s my first fight in the UK. After that, I want to move straight to the top 10 heavyweights in the world, straight in the category and make a big fight with big names.”
