Local boxer Ng Kuok Kun aka KK aka The Macau Kid says he’s excited but also nervous to be representing Macau at the 2018 Asian Games, commonly known as Jakarta Palembang 2018, which will be held in the Indonesian capital and Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra, from this Sunday to September 2.
MPD Weekender caught up with KK during a break in training in his gym in Toi San earlier this week.
Although KK is a professional boxer and has had 13 professional fights, which he has won with 7 KOs and successfully defended his China Professional Boxing Union (CPBU) belt, KK can still take part in the Asian Games alongside amateurs as he has not had 20 professional fights.
