By Cathal Jennings: Recently I caught up with IBF World Heavyweight Champion Prince Charles Martin. Read what he has to say about Tyson Fury, Joseph Parker, The Heavyweight division and his plans for the future.

When Tyson Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko it’s fair to say the Heavyweight division blew wide open. For the first time in a long time Heavyweight Boxing is exciting again and we have multiple World Champions and multiple potential Champions. At the moment the Heavyweight division is the most exciting in Boxing and Charles Martin is delighted that this is the case.

”I’m so glad that it’s alive again, it’s thriving we got a handful of great Heavyweights there is going to be some great Heavyweight fight’s. When it comes to Klitschko you can’t beat father time he was hitting 40 it was only a matter of time before he lost his belts. Us upcoming Heavyweight’s we’re young, strong, athletic, times change”.

After Charles won the title he was congratulated by Tyson Fury who seemed delighted for the American.The Fury’s really rate Charles Martin and we’re delighted he won the IBF Title controversially stripped Tyson of the belt only a few weeks prior. Charles want’s to unify the division and would have no problem facing Fury here is what he had to say ”Tyson Fury is a good guy it’s business but it definitely get’s personal when we step in the ring because your cutting in a man’s lively hood the way he support’s his family so it get’s emotional and personal. I plan on keeping my belt right here so it will be a unification between me and him so I can take those belt’s as well”.

Joseph Parker is an upcoming Heavyweight and just like Anthony Joshua he’s expected to reach the top. Recently Parker was asked what he thought of the new IBF champion and he replied ”We don’t think he’s anything special” here is Charles Martin’s response to those remarks ”Who said that.. I ain’t worried by this guy, their just talking I don’t care about what they say. They will know if I’m all hype when they get in the ring with me, even the bums I fought up to now they said it would be easy until they got in there then they gave me my props.

Punches don’t look as fast from the outside to when your in there , I’m a World Champion, a Star. I love that they underestimate me in this sport that’s the best way to be the best kept secret. I know my abilities, they just have to deal with it when their in the ring bare witness first hand I’d rather be the dark horse. Prince Charles Martin has had a very productive 2016 so far and has set his sight’s on becoming undisputed Heavyweight Champion and has plans on taking down the top guys as fast as possible ”I want to do it fast I’m young, hungry it can get real nasty in there they haven’t seen nothing. They think I’m going to get hit and I’m going to go down well let them think that we want to be undisputed World Champions before we walk away from the sport and ride into the sunset we the investments I have set up but I want to leave my mark on the sport of Boxing I want people to remember the name Prince Charles Martin”.

People might say Charles Martin was lucky but he is undefeated and hold one of the most prestigious title’s in Boxing. He might still be an unknown talent to many but he believes in his ability to go on and unify the titles.
