“I’m looking for new opportunities in boxing. My career is currently standing still because I don’t have a manager or sponsor. It will make a difference because that will mean they can market me and get me back in the ring and provide me with all I need in the sport,” said Raymond.
The professional boxer said boxing is his life as he started the sport at a young age.

“I was 10 years old when I started boxing. My uncle introduced me to boxing. He loved boxing and I was interested in the sport and he taught me. I never looked back,” said Raymond.
He said in his career he has won 10 and lost eight fights.

“Boxing requires a lot of training because you must be physically fit as well as mentally fit. You must be dedicated and willing to put in the time to do your training,” said Raymond.
He said it’s not easy to get sponsorships and managers.
“Boxing is not as popular as soccer. That is the reasons it is difficult to even get sponsors, especially if you’re not a well-known boxer,” said Raymond.
He said it has been difficult for him to focus on his career because he has to work.

“I’m a personal trainer and that takes my time for my training to stay fit, but I have to work and being a personal trainer is not far from my passion because when I’m free I can focus on me.
“I want to continue growing in my career but with my current situation it’s not easy,” said Raymond.
