HOW do you feel about finally making your professional debut, against Juan Carlos Burgos?
I’m working hard to make the transition to this new boxing – to make my debut in the best way. This is my biggest test, and I’m ready for this challenge. This is gonna be something very interesting. Everything is different – I’m gonna fight someone with a lot of experience. It’s going to be an interesting fight.
You’re an unusual profile of fighter for Matchroom. What made you choose them?
I let my team know I wanted to go with the best company, the one who would fight for my interests and for my future. It’s an honour for Eddie Hearn to say that [I’m his greatest ever signing]. If he talks like that, it’s because of my work; the results that I have in everything that I do. I’m gonna make those words come true in this upcoming fight and all my fights with him.
It’s amazing [that there is already a high level of interest in my debut] because I know that other people following me are doing so because of the great things I’ve done in
