Welsh roofer plans to be world heavyweight boxing champion

Posted: Thursday, May 30th, 2024

Undefeated in nine outings, Moses Jolly’s 11 May fight with Belgian Amine Boucetta was his biggest yet, and he savoured every moment.

Jolly's aspiration to become Wales' first heavyweight world champion is not just a dream; it's his El Dorado, according to Wales Online.

The path to this ultimate prize is paved with countless nights of hard work, dedication, and victories like the one he celebrated on 11 May.

"In boxing, I would like to be the first Welsh-born heavyweight world champion, but in life, I want to make a significant difference for many people," he says.

Jolly's development means he may have to soon give up his day job as a roofer, which still pays the bills.

"I'm still doing it," he says with a smile. "Business is good, but at the same time, I've been told I might have to give it up. But until boxing pays well enough, I'll carry on. It all ties in well. It's a nice work-life balance. I'm just grateful to be able to do it all.”
