Fitness trainer speaks to WBN after four-round loss
WBN Editor
Charles Hackmann believes that former street fighter and MMA
star Kevin ‘Kimbo Slice’ Ferguson will find it difficult to gain a foothold in
boxing after his switch from a series of disciplines far removed from the art
of pugilism.
The 25 year-old, who works at Peak Physique as a personal
trainer, caught Slice with a few swingers in the second round of their contest
and thinks that Slice may struggle against some of the bigger names in the
division.
“It was only my second fight last night,” explained Hackmann
to World Boxing News.
“I'm new to boxing and still learning - but he hits like a
truck and he is one tough dude.
“I believe that he has got a long way still and he is also new
to sport but boxing is different and a fight against the likes of the Klitschko brothers is probably way too tough for him.”
Slice, 37, may now seek out a rematch with Hackmann in an
attempt to score a knockout against every opponent he has face and when probed
on whether he would accept, the Missouri-based fighter said: “Yeah, if I was
asked to I would.”
