What has been your biggest disappointment as an athlete?
In 2008 I had train very hard to represent Cape Verde in the olympics which was my dream as
any althlet dream to represent there contry, I qualify to go and made all the secrafice to be made
for this oppertunity. Than at the deadline I couldn’t come up with the money to take that the
trip. That crush me deeply.
Whats has been one of your greatest accomplishments as an athlete? To do what I am doing now,
to be boxing and having stadiums of people cheering for me, and having people watch me perform on tv its a wonderful feeling.
What was the scariest thing you have had to deal with as a boxer?
Going through my injuries like my knee rehabing through that and fracturing my hand after
my 6th fight I was just getting on a roll than to deal with those injuries was very scary as well
diffcult but i never sat there and was like why me...because every athlete at a certain point get
injuried and what you do after that makes the diffrence.
How far do you want to take this are we going to see Mr. Providence vs Andre Ward?
That would be great to see. I never do anything unless I’m going to be the best and I want to be
the greaest. At this point in my life and in my training, im not ready yet. You can ask another
atthlete they would lie and say they are but im honest with myself im not there yet to face Ward
or ready yet to face Edwin rodriguez but im working hard to get to the point which is my end
goal to be legendary in this industry.
Thank
