Jaime Graham <\/a>doesn\u2019t intend to quietly slip into the professional ranks this Friday night at the Waterfront Hall. <\/p>\n

The debutant plans to make noise and is arriving with purpose, ambition, as welll as a clear sense that his moment has come.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old plans to catch the eye on the DAZN broadcast bill and start as he means to go on. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m coming to make a statement,\u201d he tells Iriah-boxing.com<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the stoppage comes, it comes \u2013 but first and foremost it\u2019s about getting the win and looking good doing it,\u201d he adds before fueling the excitement surrounding his introduction to the pro ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans can expect an exciting style. I like to be sharp, aggressive when I need to be, and intelligent in there. I\u2019ll bring a high work rate, good shot selection, and I\u2019m always looking to entertain. Turning pro will allow me to show a bit more of my style \u2013 sitting down on shots and really showcasing my boxing IQ.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the former underage International, this move has been carefully considered. He feels he has gotten all he can from life in the vest and is ready to step into the side of boxing that has always appealed to him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just felt the timing was right,\u201d the prospect adds. \u201cI\u2019ve had a solid amateur background, learned my trade, and I believe I\u2019ve taken as much as I can from that side of the sport. I\u2019m ready physically and mentally for the next step. The pro game has always been the goal, so it was about choosing the right moment \u2013 and this feels like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie Conlan will guide Irish boxing\u2019s latest pro, and he is delighted to link up with the former world title challenger. <\/p>\n

\u201cSigning with Conlan Sports was a big one for me,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019ve proven they know how to guide fighters the right way and build careers properly. The plan is clear \u2013 stay active, build experience in the early fights, and develop step by step. There\u2019s no rush, but there\u2019s ambition. We\u2019ve mapped out the first year to get good rounds under my belt and start building momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part one of the plan is Friday night and making an impression, yet the bigger picture is never far from his thoughts.<\/p>\n

Short term, he wants activity, progression and statements. Long term, the vision sharpens.<\/p>\n

\u201cTitles \u2013 that\u2019s the dream. I want to climb the rankings, get into contention, and eventually challenge for major honours,\u201d he adds before reverting his gaze back to the Conor Quinn undercard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m buzzing, to be honest. It\u2019s what you work for from the day you lace up the gloves. There\u2019s always nerves, but they\u2019re good nerves. I can\u2019t wait to get in there and put on a show.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaime Graham doesn\u2019t intend to quietly slip into the professional ranks this Friday night at the Waterfront Hall.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,253716,85],"class_list":["post-505079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-jamie-graham","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
