Michael Carter-Williams is making waves as he transitions from the hardcourt to the boxing ring. In a recent interview with Nova Play Sports, the former NBA standout shared his exhilaration and resolve as he gears up for his professional boxing debut, which is just around the corner!
In the upcoming bout, Carter-Williams will be facing Sam Khatib, a 36-year-old amateur boxer, in a highly anticipated three-round match. To add to the significance of the event, all proceeds will support a charitable initiative.
Carter-Williams, who earned the Rookie of the Year award in 2013, is eager for his first official fight. “I’m fully committed to my training and preparation,” he emphasized, underlining his determination to excel in this new arena.
His dedication is already evident; Carter-Williams recently disclosed that he suffered a black eye during sparring, a testament to the grueling nature of his training.
Despite his newcomer status in boxing, Carter-Williams has set his sights high. He boldly claimed, “I know my opponent wants to knock me out, but I’m training to deliver one of my own!” This confidence highlights his fierce competitive spirit.
