Regardless of that, he’s once again back to his old element, trying to create an impact with his boxing run.
‘Miracle Man’ has a slick track record 37-3. Out of all his wins, 30 came in via T/KO, which takes his KO ratio to 75%. On Saturday night, he will look to improve on these numbers and possibly bag a T/KO win to make a statement.
