As Liam Paro prepares for the fight of his life on the Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley undercard, the Aussie boxer says he will have one person on his mind when he steps in the ring.
He's fighting for the kids in Brisbane gyms wearing his shirt who call him their idol.It's a lot of weight for anyone to bear – let alone a 25-year-old from regional Queensland on his first professional trip overseas – but Paro carries it effortlessly as he glides around the heavy bag in a Las Vegas boxing gym.
Behind the pictures of gladiators, warriors and Colosseums tattooed on his chest, is a heart that beats for others more than itself. Paro is just days out from his first international fight: a clash with undefeated Puerto Rican Yomar Alamo on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley rematch.– meaning a victory will rocket Paro into the international limelight and, predictably, to a world title fight.He's been training non-stop for 10 weeks, sparring with the likes of Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson – men who not only have Wikipedia pages but also world champion belts.
