During my stint in the SBL, one of my fights was against a great Army boxer who had won many professional matches in the past, whereas I was not at all at that time. After avoiding his heavy blows and landing timely punches, while constantly trying to calm my nerves, I was eventually able to defeat him. That’s when I got the name ‘The Lion’. I love this name that the boxing brothers have given me and I hope I continue to do justice to it in the future.
