“I have the chance to watch his fight and he’s very good but I believe in myself as well.
“We are here to give a good fight and I will make my fans proud.”

‘OK, this is the one of the important fight for my young boxing career but I know I am going to win,' he says.
‘We have several strategies for this fight. I’m very comfortable.
‘I can’t say Farah is the most dangerous opponent of my young career because I haven’t fought him yet.
