Frågor & svar (boxeomundial.net)

Start in boxing: I started boxing in 2001. A friend brought me to the gym and I have stayed in the gym since that day. Hard work and dedication every day.

Boxing Heroes growing up: I was a big fan of Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. I loved Tyson’s killer instinct and his explosive knockouts. Roy Jones was also a good entertainer back in the days. He had great speed, combination and confidence. I loved to watch his fights.

Amateur career: As an amateur I’m a 6 time Swedish national champion and I fought for the Swedish Olympic team for 5 years and won serveral big international tournaments. At the world championships in Chicago 2007 I represented Sweden in 178 lbs. After that tournament I decided go down to 165 lbs and try to qualify for Gambia instead and also make my dad proud and represent his country. So I went down to Africa and won gold in the African qualification tournament and made it to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. I was Gambia’s flag bearer at the opening ceremony in front of 100,000 peoples and millions of tv viewers. I lost to one of the bronze medalists in that tournament. I had 150 amateur fights and 125 wins.

Pro career: As a pro I’m a super middleweight with 9-0 (8KO’s) about to be 10-0 on March 7th when I fight at BB King Blues Club in New York. I train with former light heavyweight champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad at the HIT Factory Boxing Gym in Las Vegas. I’m promoted by Dibella Entertainment (Lou DiBella) & Warriors Boxing Promotions (Leon Margules).

Boxing Style: I’m a boxer puncher and I like to mix it up. I can box, I can brawl and I can bang. Whatever my opponent brings to the table I’m ready for it. I like to use my good jab to set up my power punches. I also like to go to the body a lot which most of my knockout’s came from.

Goals for 2012: The goal for this year is to stay busy and get more experience and in 2013 I’ll be ready to take on the top guys in my division.
