Boxer from Campania Aziz Abbes Mouhiidine to the microphones of Sportal.it charges ahead of the Olympics that are getting closer and closer: "Paris è near, it seems so far away but it is only a few months after qualifying in Krakow and after the Olympic pass, è a dream for me. It's a dream to go to Paris and I dream to conquer Paris".
"How am I preparing myself? In the best way to arrive in full shape not only mentally but especially technically and tactically,” explained the 25-year-old Italian.”
The sacrifices? Lots of them. We don’t have a normal life of boys our age;. I am also a student, these sacrifices are not seen by everyone. We make these sacrifices to get high not only on a sports level, but on a personal level. And there are the sacrifices of a family behind everything".
The love of boxing: "I fell in love with the noble art thanks to my father at the age of 8, he made me watch the Muhammad Alì movie played by Will Smith. I was already practicing martial arts with karate and kick boxing and at age 9 I started with boxing in the same gym, è it was love at first sight".
"At the age of 17 I chose boxing and joined the Golden Flames. I am in love with the noble art and try to make it proud".
"Actor? It's easier to get into the ring … it's not easy to be an actor but it's nice to tell and tell about people. A fight with Tyson? A fight with him would be a dream, as well as with Alì. But now there are other great champions, there is me writing my story and I want to continue writing it with great results".
