"I'm very happy to be back home, I'm looking forward to the June 8th game, I've worked hard for this day," says Marku for Super Sport.About the preparations?
I have been preparing for two months, I've been to Thailand for training ......
What is your strongest point?
Heart (smiles). Excessive exercise. I've always had a lot of willingness to train myself, and I've done that since 12 years-old.
How do you feel in Tirana where people smile and seek autographs?
I am very happy. After Albanians and Kosovars have supported me all over the world. I felt the great support I had from them. For me every match is the same, I do not care who the opponent is. But it is a very different emotion when you face the opponent in fromt of your people here in Tirana.
It's pride, I'm very proud. I love this sport I'm doing and I promise to all Albanians that I will reach very high and I will raise the Albanian flag on the tops of this sport.
Have you studied the opponent? How do you think will go the match?
The match will end in the first round with the knockout, it's safe. The opponent is good but not at my own level. He has never encountered an opponent like me. I will confirm this in the day of the match.
The Serbian has given an interview telling that will box with his foot with me, but I will kick him knochount in the first round.
I look forward to all Albanians wherever they come to support me. I promised a great victory.
