Florian Marku, the Albanian boxer is climbing in the lightweight category. The last time he liquidated the former British champion Chris Jenkins in only four rounds, to get the "IBF International" belt. He is now looking for "any opponent, who will soon bring me a world title".

"I do not care who will be put in front of me," Marku told Sky Sport. - We fight every day, we train every day, for us it is like drinking coffee. I can fight anyone who brings me up as a rival. Of course there are good names in the lightweight category. "Whoever they bring me, I will fight."

An attractive target for him would be Chris Congo, the thrilling fighter who earlier this month defeated Sebastian Formella, the German contender who has previously fought Conor Benn and Shawn Porter:

"If they pay me well, I would certainly fight Congo. Not one by one, if the money is enviable, let them bring two more by two. I do not care. I do not really care. I want to secure the future of family, I want to become world champion.

Conor Benn is doing very well, I have seen him in excellent fighting. Of course I would love to fight him, but he will avoid me. However, let's see what the future holds.

I am satisfied with my results. I am new to this sport, you know I was a kickboxer. "Boxing is a little different, but I'm improving a lot, I have a lot more to show people."

He is close to realizing a childhood dream. Marku wants to box in the national stadium of Albania. His team is working to make this a reality.

"In Albania, maybe at the end of August, it would be something big. This has been my dream since I was a child. There will be about 26,000 people there, I can not wait. If that happens, it will be unbelievable. Albanians will to be there ”.

Former world champion and boxing expert Barry Jones praises Florian Markun: “At the beginning of his career, I think he had dinner with his physical strength. However, I have seen a change, especially in Mark's last three matches. Now I am using the brain a little more than force. He could box better than we thought and maybe give himself credit.

Of course, physical strength is what makes the boxer who he is, but the fact that he is starting to use his brain more has made him a better fighter. This was evident against Chris Jenkins, who is a good boxer, a really tricky and tough rival. "Mark was able to reduce the difference quite effectively and obviously the knockout shots were fantastic."
