Muhammad Ali: 'I am only getting started'

Team GB boxer Muhammad Ali speaks to Sports Mole ahead of competing in the 2015 European Games.

Team GB boxer Muhammad Ali has claimed that he 'has much to achieve' in the sport amid praise over his potential.

The 18-year-old has been tipped to make a big impression at the 2015 European Games in Baku, and will open his tournament early next week.

Ali, however, has vowed to 'keep his head screwed on'.

"I don't really take much notice. I just keep my head focused and screwed on, I haven't really achieved anything yet so this is just the start. I just have to keep my head down," Ali told Sports Mole.

"I want to win a medal and qualify for the World Championships - that is my main aim for me. I am not here to make up the numbers. I will try my best."

Ali also commented on the Athletes' Village, which has proved popular with the Team GB squad.

"The weather is nice and the flats are all amazing, nice and spacious. The canteen is open 24/7, which is no good for us boxers making weight, but it is still good to have."

Ali will compete in the flyweight category for Team GB in Baku.
