Received the title from Rama, Florian Marku: There are prejudices, they say he

Boxer Florian Marku was honored by Prime Minister Edi Rama with the title "Great Star of Public Recognition", after the victory on Thursday evening at the 'Air Albania' stadium, where he defeated the Mexican Miguel Parra Ramirez, winning the WBC Silver.

In his speech, Marku talked about the challenges he has gone through since his childhood to reach success here, and he even said that he has also encountered prejudices.

" Thank you to the prime minister, the mayor, and Taulant Balla for supporting us. I don't know how to start, but this is a dream come true for me. In my career I have always been realistic and I will remain so.

I was born in Lushnja, at the age of 7 I immigrated with my family to Thessaloniki, where I started playing football. I changed my sport and joined boxing. I don't come from a rich family, my mother also worked as a cleaner, but I said a few words to her. After a few years you never have to work again and thank God she doesn't need it anymore.

It's not luck, these cracks on the face are small. That I have never thrown down the Albanian flag. I had many options. I had a successful career. I have operated on my hands five times.

Boxing has always been my dream. In Greece I didn't have cards, and the only option was kickboxing where we weren't controlled much. I went to England by chance.

A promoter promised me that you will have everything ready, I took the bride and we left for England, everything was a scam there, I had nothing ready. They told me you will have a house, a car and a gym, but it was a lie.

In the first match I was successful, the Albanians have never disappointed me, they have always filled the hall. That's how they opened the way to success with a lot of work. I want to tell the youth that in every field a lot of work and sacrifice is needed. I'm prejudiced, they say he's lucky, or he doesn't deserve it. I deserve it or no one deserves it. You don't know what I went through in my life to get here. The great love to reach where I am has made me never give up, I also have this message for young people. Your day will come, as mine did. I am very happy to be here today" , said Marku.
