The one -armed boxer confidently debuted in professional ring

The American boxer Michael Konstantino, who has no right hand from birth, ended his debut battle in a professional ring. The 33-year-old Konstantino in New York defeated Nathan Ortis, sending his opponent to knockout already in the second round.

“I just wanted to show people that everything is possible in life, even if circumstances are against you,” Konstantino cites New York Daily News . “If you work and believe in yourself, you can achieve any goal.”

For Ortis, this is the fourth defeat in a row, he has not a single victory in his asset yet. After the defeat, he admitted that he was not well prepared for battle, since he had only two weeks for this.

“Give me two months for training, and I will put Konstantino in the first round,” Ortis said, adding that one -armed boxer “was better” than he thought about him before the fight.

Michael Konstantino took part in two amateur US championships "Golden Gloves" and once reached the quarterfinal stage, adds RIA Novosti.
