Comments Thread For: Anthony Ogogo Wants To Become The Best at 160

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Ogogo is setting himself no deadlines as he embarks on his quest to become a world champion.

The 2012 Olympic bronze medallist fights for the first time as a professional on Saturday as he takes on Telford middleweight Kieron Gray in a six-round contest in Sheffield.

The 24-year-old from Great Yarmouth has not fought since last summer's Games but now feels the time is right to step up.

He said: "I am so excited, I feel great. I haven't been in the ring since last summer and I can't wait to go.

"Ultimately I want to become the best middleweight in the world - whether it takes three years or six years, it doesn't matter.

"Putting time frames on it puts pressure on for no reason.

Give it time.

Ogogo is capable of beating Degale someday. He will be a great champion in the pros.

Soon they all become goodboy. Ogogo seems to think that he may need to wait 6 or more years before he challenges for a title. If he rushes it before God of War hangs the gloves - one more goodboy.

I don't particularly rate him that highly but just as with Campbell, I'll hold judgement on their professional capabilities until I've seen 'em fight several times.

Whatever the case, Ogogo is entering a very competitive mix at 160 in the domestic scene. He's with GBP but I believe he's British based, would love to see some of our Olympians travel Stateside though.

I'll be following his career throughout.
