TURNING PRO
In July 2020 he signed a three-year professional contract with MTK Global. He had his first professional bout in October 2020 which he won by knockout. "It was time for me to box in the professional ranks, and MTK Global is the best management company with many champions. I have a lot of memories of fights in the amateurs, but I have not yet reached my goal in boxing. As a professional athlete, I want to become world champion and be the best fighter in my weight class. I was pleased to be an amateur and compete in all the competitions and win all the fights that I did, but now I'm very excited to turn professional."
