OBVIOUSLY I was made up to be selected and I’m looking forward to putting on a show for the UK crowd. There’s going to be a few people coming down from Liverpool as well. It’s going to be great. We’re used to be boxing in mad countries, Russia, all over the world. For it to be in London, it’s right on your doorstep really compared with other places that we’ve boxed.
I want to get my qualifying spot but I’ll be looking to win the qualifiers as well. At the last European Games I got a bronze but I still feel like I’m one of the best if not the best in Europe in my weight category. In the last two World championships actually I’ve been the only person from the continent of Europe to be on the podium, that will give me a lot of confidence as well.
There’s a few good kids at the weight but I believe I’m the best at the weight and I believe I can come away with from the qualifier with a gold medal and my qualification spot.
