Quinlan promises to deliver in Singapore
FORMER WORLD CHAMP TO REDEEM CAREER, TEAMS UP WITH EX-TRAINER
LEONE CABENATABUA SUVA
Boasting a record of seven knockouts from 11 wins, Quinlan is ready to resurrect his career following a February loss to Chris Eubank Jnr in England.
In Singapore yesterday Quinlan weighed-in at 71.8 kilogrammes as he faces homeboy Alexander Bajawa today.
“You are going to see a new me in the fight game,” he said. “Everyone is going to see a new Renold Quinlan; it’s going to be a whole different change in the ring. Everyone is going to get a shock.”
The 28-year-old said his preparation fell astray in the lead-up to the fight.
“I learnt a lot from that fight,” he said. “After the loss it opened my eyes on a lot of things I was meant to be doing. I wasn’t mentally or physically focused on the fight but that’s my fault. I take that on the chin.”
The indigenous Australian- Fijian boxer retreated to his roots, back to his Rosemeadow garage under the guidance of uncle and former Fijian boxing trainer Lepani Wilson. “My uncle has always been there throughout my boxing career,’’ Quinlan said.
“He has always been helping me physically and mentally. I made the change (with his team) to return to the winning circle.”
Wilson said this is the most important fight in Quinlan’s career as a win will set him on the right path. “The Eubank fight is now water under the bridge,” Wilson said.
