Release: July 10, 2019 By Dragon Fire Boxing – Perth's “Bullet” Michael Kaplan
has landed himself a place in the WBA's world top 15.
Kaplan
doesn't herald from a traditional boxing background, having competed at an
elite level of Taekwando. The Australian light flyweight sensation opened up
about his past in combat sports.
Kaplan
said, "I was a world-level competitor in two different forms of Taekwando,
and I really took to the kickboxing style of it and won numerous tournaments at
that style which is the more similar style to traditional boxing.
"I
had a couple of amateur fights and then decided to turn professional with Tony
Tolj who has been a godsend to me. I am so grateful for what he has done for me
so far and I believe I am improving all the time and I will get better and
better as time goes on."
Kaplan
has entered the world top 15 at light flyweight for the first time and a world
title fight may not be out of the realms of possibilities for the Perth native.
Kaplan gave his take on breaking into the world top 15 and his plans going
forward.
He
said, "It's an amazing feat to become a world-ranked fighter and I am so
grateful to my team for making it happen. I couldn't have done it without them
and I believe this is just the start of an amazing journey.
"I
want to keep progressing. Of course, I would love to become world champion one
day, but I am happy to continue to learn my craft and I trust my manager Tony
to make the right decisions for me when the time is correct to step me up into
title fights. In the meantime, I will continue to train hard and fight anyone
who is put in front of me."
