It is that vision he is now taking into the ring for next Sunday’s boxing show organised by Unboxx Sports & Entertainment Limited at Lagos National Stadium, Surulere.
The boxing package has been aptly tagged ‘Chaos In Lagos,’ and Kareem wants to use it as another stepping stone towards achieving his espied days of global glory in gloves and trunks.
Although Hassan Kareem admitted he is finding things tougher as a professional boxer than they were for him as an amateur, he is determined to weather every storm in order to become a champion.
Kareem affirmed, “Being a pro is a lot different from an amateur, and it’s very, very hard. In amateur, you go three rounds maximum, while in the pro, you go six, 10, 12.
“The training too is very, very hard because you will meet tough opponents.”
He then turned his focus on the July 21st show at SportsCity in Surulere and declared that he will want to put up a fight full of thrills, in order to excite the fans and give them true value for their money.
“I am looking forward to July 21st because it’s going to be my first fight this year. I haven’t fought at all this year. So, I’m preparing hard, and I’m very confident of victory … though victory comes from God.
“I’m just telling my opponent to bring his A-game and let us give the fans a good fight.
“My target us like every boxer has; aspirations to be a world champion. That’s the target for everybody.
“You don’t have to be in it without thinking of getting something from it. All you need is to think of how you can achieve something; which is to get to the world stage, be a champion, and represent Nigeria well,” Kareem concluded.
