Elimasi Reflects on New Deal and Amateur Journey

Reflecting on joining Queensberry, Elimasi said: “I’d say Frank is a legend of the game, he’s had Prince Naseem and now he’s got me.” He continued: “I’m on a winning team.”

Looking back at his amateur journey, he said: “In the amateurs I did two seasons and was able to dominate the Londons, Nationals, Internationals and I was a star. In just two seasons I was a star and I had a 25 fight winning streak.” Elimasi continued: “I was winning and I made winning look good!”

Speaking about his short stint in the amateurs: “I started at Islington Boxing Club and season one was 2022-23, where I had 15 fights and 14 wins. In season two I won everything. So in two seasons I won the Londons six times, won an international tournament in Sweden, won the Capital Cup, won Nationals and dominated.”

He added: “I made myself a star as well and made sure I was looking good whilst winning.”

What Happens Next?

Elimasi also spoke about what weight category he will enter the professional game in: “I was a cruiserweight in the amateurs and now I’m going to be a light heavyweight. Roy Jones was there and now I’m going to be there. I am going to make it exciting. That is my aim, to bring back that special feeling back into boxing.”

The 24-year-old has an apt nickname and one he intends to live up to and keep: “The name I was given in the amateurs was ‘Main Event’ because I am known to be the main event when I box. It is the name I was given and I live up to it, so I am definitely going to keep it.”
