"Jalil Hackett Sets Sights on Gateway to Championship Glory"
Jalil Hackett is gearing up for a thrilling showdown with Jose Roman Vazquez in Puerto Rico this weekend, eager to make his mark on the welterweight division. The 21-year-old rising star has his sights set on a world-title fight in 2025, with WBO champion Brian Norman Jnr on his radar.
"World-title contention is the aim for the next 12 months," Hackett expressed confidently. "Brian Norman said my name, he’s a world champion and that’s my goal. He said I’m on his hit-list – well, guess what, he’s on my hit-list too. I believe I can beat him now."
With a determination that belies his age, Hackett is focused on climbing the ranks swiftly. "I feel like I’m made for this. It’s all about the challenge, I set myself high personal goals – the main goal is to become world champion as quick as possible."
As he prepares to face Vazquez, Hackett is ready for an explosive fight. "I’ve studied Vazquez. Based on what I’ve seen, he’ll come out swinging which suits me. It’ll be an action-packed night on Saturday, it can go early. I need to make a statement in every fight."
The spotlight will also shine on Paro and Hitchins as they battle for the IBF junior-welterweight title. Vazquez, coming off a victory in his last fight, is poised to test Hackett's mettle in what promises to be a thrilling evening of boxing in Puerto Rico.
