Three years ago, when Japanese boxing monster Naomi Inoue was in Glasgow, Scotland, and defeated Emanuel Rodriguez by an absolute advantage in front of all the spectators on the scene, Lee McGregor was on the scene. Although it is not possible to say that he is 100% ready to compete with Naomi Inoue, when he is actually invited, Lee McGregor finds it difficult to refuse this opportunity.
As Europe's lightest intercontinental champion, Lee McGregor will return to the ring this weekend at York Hall in east London, England, when he will play against Diego Alberto Ruiz from Argentina. It was Lee McGregor's first match in half a year, and he was supposed to play his european most lightweight intercontinental title defense last December, but for some reason the tournament was cancelled.
After solving Diego Alberto Ruiz, Lee McGregor was supposed to fight British Pakistani boxer Cash Farouq, but the young Cash Farouq suddenly announced his retirement, which caught Lee McGregor a little off guard. So Lee McGregor began to seriously consider the offer from Naomi Inoue.
In Lee McGregor's eyes, the showdown with Naomi Inoue will be the most important game of his career. Lee McGregor told reporters who interviewed him: "Against Naomi Inoue, I don't need to do too strict weight reduction because I can play directly with my current size and weight. I'm sure I can already compete in a tournament like World King of Fighters. However, because Inoue Isuya is the elite of the lightest elite in professional boxing, I still need to prepare seriously, and maybe it is best to fight the World Champion Elimination Battle first. ”
"I don't want to kid myself, I watched Shoya Inoue in Glasgow in 2019 when he beat Emmanuel Rodriguez very easily and I knew That's when Shoya Inoue was a devastating boxer. But if you think that if I enter the boxing ring against Naomi Inoue, I will definitely lose the game, it is too underestimating me. No matter which opponent I face in boxing, I never think I'm going to lose. I do need more time to prepare for this big game, though. Lee McGregor added to reporters.
In the interview, Lee McGregor also told reporters that he has made great progress in the years after playing with Cash Farouq. This also gives Lee McGregor the confidence to challenge the world champion, Lee McGregor told reporters: "I have learned a lot in the past two years, both in terms of technology and experience have greatly improved, and then we will make a detailed plan, and then in the second half of 2022, I want to start trying to challenge the title of world champion." ”
Lee McGregor is currently training with Ben Davis, and the same young coach makes Lee McGregor feel happy in training. He told reporters: "Although there are many things to prepare for the battle, I have a great team around me now. Working with Ben Davis has not only allowed me to improve my boxing skills very quickly, but it has also made me happier in life. So, I'm enjoying my life now. ”
Lee McGregor, 25, was born in Edinburgh, England. Since making his professional boxing debut on November 11, 2011, Lee McGregor has won 11 games. However, compared with Inoue Naomi, Lee McGregor has not experienced many high-quality matches, and if he really competes with Inoue Shoya, who is strong and experienced in world boxing battles, Lee McGregor may be more fierce.
