"Liu Gang is doing amazing things for the sport in China "This will be the biggest yet. "It's in Beijing, it will be a sell out and even more importantly for Herman it will be broadcast into millions of homes across Asia and America. "This is massive, but in saying that we have a job to do. "It's another must win for Herman. "Jong Suk Lee is a quality opponent with 6 wins from 10 career bouts.

"I understand it's a big task in front of me but I feel I am equal to it. "I haven't had any time out of the gym this year from fighting Paul Gallen in January to Tom Heads in New Zealand in April and Moses Havea here in Toowoomba last week to take my record to 9 wins from 14 bouts.. "My goal is to fight for a Youth World title so these are the bouts I must win. "I also want to repay the faith Mr Liu gang has shown in me. "I'm treating this fight like a World title. "I'll give myself every chance to get my hand raised as the victor on June 24."  |
