Mahdi, tell us how you achieved your victory last Saturday against Joao Silva?

“I started the fight a bit shyly. He started hard. I kinda expected it. I got caught in his trap, but I was able to fight back well and restart. I’m glad I did. I was able to make boxing do the talking, and that’s what needs to be done. With the audience there And relatives and so on, the pressure had to be managed.”

A word about your opponent Joao Silva?

It was stronger than expected. I felt him, he was hungry. He was really strong so I avoided staying too much up front. Joao was up to the challenge. »
