A heavyweight with fourteen wins and fourteen knockouts would normally be talking about world titles. Instead, one of the undefeated boxers is much more sincere about his explosive start.

Thomas Narmo has stopped every opponent he has faced to date, establishing a perfect record of fourteen wins and fourteen knockouts.

As previously reported by World Boxing News, “The Last Viking” got through these opponents in a total of just twenty-six rounds.

But despite the eye-catching numbers, Narmo admits the statistics don’t tell the whole story yet.

“I don’t really pay too much attention to it,” Narmo told World Boxing News. “I haven’t faced a real challenge yet. My last three opponents did decently, so I’m glad I managed to hold them off.

“I started boxing overdue in life, so unfortunately I didn’t gain much ring experience from my previous fights.”

Learning on the job

This level of honesty is unusual in boxing, where undefeated prospects are often promoted as future champions long before a stern opponent.

Narmo didn’t start boxing seriously until he was in his 20s, after previously competing in mixed martial arts, which left him with significantly less experience in the ring than many heavyweights climbing the professional ladder.

Still, its destructive beginning is demanding to ignore. Fourteen knockouts in fourteen wins is scarce at any level, even if most of those fights came against humble opposition in European rings.

For now, the power puncher says he’s simply focused on getting ready for the right opportunity.

“I’ve been trying to stay in shape and I hope someone will call me and ask,” he explained.

“If not, I’ll have to continue what I’ve been doing a little longer. My time will come, of which I’m quite sure.”

Puncher’s Chance

The heavyweight division remains the only weight class where a single punch can instantly change everything. Narmo believes that momentum means he can never be passed up if the right opportunity arises.

“There is always a chance of a punch. Anything can happen in the heavyweight division,” he said.

“I’m not a technical boxer with a lot of experience. I just try to stay fit and be ready to hurt people.”

He also understands that without the support of a enormous promotional company, reaching the elite level may not be effortless.

“It’s not effortless to get to the top without a great promoter behind you,” he added.

“If I can have a good career, win some minor titles and serve as a gatekeeper for an elite company, I don’t think it’s too bad for someone who started training in his 20s.”

For now, the undefeated heavyweight is simply waiting for another opportunity to present himself.

“I hope the fight will take place in overdue March or early April,” he said.

“There will be a lot of gigantic heavyweight fights in the next few weeks and you never know if something will happen to one of them. I’m ready to go if the opportunity arises.”

Whether the opportunity comes sooner or later, Narmo’s brutally sincere vision of his own career suggests that “The Last Viking” realizes that his toughest trials may yet lie ahead.

After weeks of drama on the other side, Jaron Ennis has spoken out about his potential fight with Vergil Ortiz.

The undefeated pair had been linked for some time, and the fight was one of the most anticipated in all of boxing.

Ennis, a former unified welterweight world champion, moved up to 154 pounds in October and scored a first-round TKO victory over Uisma Lima to capture the vacant interim WBA super welterweight title.

A month later, Ortiz stopped Erickson Lubin within two rounds, then “Boots” entered the ring for a restart when it seemed the two men were destined to face each other.

However, several obstacles have emerged in recent months, most notably Ortiz becoming embroiled in a legal dispute with his promoter Oscar De La Hoya.

De La Hoya’s “Golden Boy” recently won a court judgmentgranted the company’s request to compel arbitration with Ortiz, and Ennis did so published on social media admit that it now means it’s “time to step away” from the fight.

“I did everything in my power to make this fight happen for the fans. I waited long enough and stayed quiet through it all. It seems like Vergil or his team really didn’t want to fight.

“I came to his fight in his hometown and told him he was next. It was November, March and still nothing. Time to move on. Next two-division champion. I told you the truth was out.”

Ennis will now apparently be targeting one of the world champions at 154 pounds, where Xander Zayes holds the WBA and WBO belts, Josh Kelly is the IBF champion and Sebastian Fundora holds the WBC title.
