Two years ago, a young boxer from Sweden swept through the New York boxing landscape, leaving a trail of frustrated, defeated boxers in his wake. Blond and handsome, with a casual demeanor, Naim Terbunja was a boxer on the 2008 Swedish Olympic team with a grand ambition: to make it as a boxer in the U.S. To that end, Terbunja moved to Shirley, L.I. in 2009 to compete in the New York Golden Gloves.

Don't be foolish, if you want to turn pro and the US isn't giving you a visa, start fighting in Sweden or any other part of Europe. A host of promoters across Europe (and even Canada or Mexico, if you wanted to be in close proximity to the US) would love to bring a "blond and handsome" Sweden along and get hm a visa into the country they promote in.

You'll be able to build a fanbase and start your professional career while your US visa issues are settled. At 27, 3 years from now, you can have 10-25 fights under your belt, a US visa, be close to a title shot, and still be able to fight for Haymon. This is a better option than waiting until the long, unceratin process of US Immigration gets settled.
