The world of boxing may just be witnessing the rise of another great prodigy. Curmel Moton, just at the age of 17 years, has quickly become a boxing sensation. This came after his victory against Ezequiel Flores on September 30, 2023, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. His first venture in the boxing world appeared to be more than successful. He had his first fight in the undercard for the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo fight.

Moreover, his association with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has also increased the anticipation around him. Interestingly, he is going to make a return to the ring soon. As David Benavidez prepares to face Demetrius Andrade, Moton is going to fight on the undercard of the event as well. Now that the fight is only a day after, Moton recently took inspiration from his mentor about the importance of a focused mindset.

So I don’t worry about nobody else, I got to where I got to is because of this. My whole focus was Floyd Mayweather and his family and my team.” This serves as a compelling reminder for aspiring individuals, encouraging them to prioritize their ambitions over external distractions.
