Glasgow-based boxer Mitch Prince thinks that he has found a unique way to stand out from the pack; he has changed his name to Prince of Passion. The 2006 Commonwealth Games competitor decided that his previous moniker was a little bit too boring, so he changed it via deed poll; he is now enjoying the benefits that a name change brings.
Prince of Passion confirmed his new handle when speaking to the Daily Record: “I think it's a cool name. It simply rolls off the tongue and is the ultimate icebreaker,” he explained.
“I was very unlucky in love and would always get my heart broken. Since I've changed my name I've became more confident and I've even bagged myself a new woman. After the Commonwealth Games in 2006, I took a break from the sport but now I am in training again I thought I'd try and stand out from the competition. I can just imagine crowds shouting out my new name at matches. It will be amazing.”
Prince’s passion for the sport is undoubted, and his new moniker should get him noticed.
