“I am very excited to be making my debut. I have wanted to turn pro for some time now and I am looking forward to Friday night,” he told Irish-boxing.com.
“Fight fans can expect a come forward box fighter style from me and I hope to bring excitement. I am really looking forward to getting in there now and getting things rolling. For now I’m just concentrating on this fight. I will take it one fight at a time, but as you will expect I am in this game to become a World champion.”
