to push for a title by the end of the year, but first have to get past Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs I said I haven\u2019t had the best start to my boxing career but that is all changing from this fight on, I would like to say a massive thank you to the team I have around me, I couldn\u2019t ask for anyone better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
