AARON Bowen wants to win a world title fighting at the home ground of Coventry City as he prepares for his seventh professional fight.
Coventry fighter Bowen (6-0) has won four of his six fights by knockout which includes a TKO victory over Mykola Vovk in June earlier this year.
He is preparing to fight on the undercard of Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan’s IBF world title match-up at Windsor Park in Belfast on Saturday, September 13.
Bowen will face Argentine fighter Carlos Miguel Ronner (7-5) on a packed card which also features a pro debut for former UFC star Molly McCann.
And Sky Blues fan Bowen holds the dream of winning a world title at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Bowen said: “The ultimate goal is to win a world title. I’d love to do that at the Coventry City ground.
“I’d like to do every belt – Midlands, English, British, European – that’s the dream and that’s the route I want to take.
“I’ve got a Midlands title fight agreed in November. I’m looking to stop this guy and look good.
“I want to set the tone for the next few fights. I’m coming to knock people out and make it interesting.”
The 26-year-old turned professional in February 2018 and secured a knockout win on debut.
That came after he won a bronze medal fighting for England at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Bowen admits his fighting style has changed since turning pro and also stressed the need to stay strong mentally in-between his fights.
Bowen said: “I’ve had a really good camp. I’ve worked on different things and prepared for it like a world title is on the line.
“It’s been enjoyable. I’m loving being a pro and I’ve prepared well again.
“I’ve learnt to focus more. As an amateur, I would just throw what I could and move.
“Now I’m trying to place the right shot and be more conscious in the ring. I just keep pushing myself every day.
“You need that more as a professional because it’s such a cut-throat business.
“I was a shy kid and quite a nervous child in school. A couple of my friends went to the gym and I thought ‘I could beat you up’.
“I wanted to be heard and recognised from an early age. I realised boxing could do that and fell in love with it straightaway.
“I ended up beating those friends in the boxing ring and that was the start of the journey and I’ve never looked back.”
