He wants to go in the foot steps of Conor McGregor as well as Curtis Woodhouse the ex Sheffield United striker who became British Light welter-weight champion.
He is set to make the announcement tomorrow.

He’s well into training already and it seemed it started a long time ago.
He has even called out numerous boxers before including Tyson Fury.
What a match up that would be.
