"I worked so hard toward my dreams and I never give up. I never let anyone let me down. I put myself to the limit. I don't sleep, I'm running four o'clock, three o'clock like a madman,” he said after beating Sharp.
“People see me like, what's this guy doing? And now this is the answer for those people that were asking me those questions. And I'm so proud of myself, my mum, and my family back home. There are all watching me and I made them proud because I come nothing.”
"A place there was no light, there was no water, nothing there and I see myself with one of the biggest promotions in the world, Queensberry. Come on bro, there is a God. Whatever result happened there, I don't care. I see myself as a winner no matter what," he added.
The boxer has photos of himself holding a shovel and working as a labourer at a construction site during his time in Ghana, and revealed in a recent interview that he comes from abject poverty.

MacBones relocated to the UK in 2012 and worked his way up to become a boxer. According to him, he worked two jobs, day and night, when he first arrived in the UK.
His boxing career has been steady but, at 33, he’s finally gotten his breakthrough and making waves.
