Two-time Olympic Games champion Zou Shiming is aiming for the top in professional boxing.
Zou is scheduled to make his professional debut next month and intends to become the first boxer from China to make it big on the world stage.
The nimble light-flyweight gold medallist at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games begins his quest for a world title in Macau on April 6 when he faces a little-known Mexican, Eleazar Valenzuela.
Zou, also a three-time amateur world champion, is well known in his homeland, where boxing was banned under Mao Zedong. Now he hopes to extend his reputation to a global audience and put China on the map as a force in the sport.
