“Although some say I start Boxing late, but to me martial arts & music is also arts & techniques, if you spend time & dedication in training & learning, you will get better & better.

I am also starting to learn other martial arts such as Kickboxing , BJJ & wrestling at Ewako MMA & Garagas Gym.”

This year was a good year for him. He won Gold for Kinabalu Fight & Rampage Fighting Championship.

And most recently in Mayor Cup Sabah State Boxing Tournament, he fought 3 times , recording two KO & one Unanimous Decision results to emerge as state champion.

“ I am proud to say that I proof the naysayer wrong. At 35, I am able to become state champion! Although some may see this as a small achievement, but for me it is huge due to the fact that I started late and many don’t believe in me.”

“It’s normal for any athlete entering competition to test their skills. I felt TFQ is a great platform as it has some of the best Sabah talent participating. My motivation to take part is that I enter at my own will, not because someone wants me to fight.”

What makes u wanna fight in TFQ? what is the motivation? :

“I love the feeling inside the cage / ring. I love it more when I compete inside it. For 2 years of the pandamic I did’t get to compete, so I’ve miss it very much.

Biggest challenge for me is cutting weight from 92kg to 80kg. As I am busy with my new business, it does take time away my training.”
