SUPER bantamweight Leon `Hurry Up’ Moore is in the best shape of his professional boxing career and is promising a convincing victory when he matches gloves with Frenchman Karim Guerfi on May 30, in St Maarten. “I feel good and I am in the best shape of my life. I have trained very hard and there is no doubt that I would be winning this fight convincingly,” Moore said yesterday from his training camp in New York. “I know the importance of winning this one. A victory here would earn me a Top-10 rating. So for me it is a career-defining situation,” the Guyanese stated.

Moore and Guerfi will clash for the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) super bantamweight title.
The 36-year-old Moore declared that when he wins against the Frenchman, he intends to call out the champions in both the bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions.
The May 30 fight was originally scheduled for April 4 but was recently postponed due to administrative issues. Moore acknowledged that the shift in dates had at first caused a disruption in his training but assured that he is now back on track.
“It had caused a little setback but that is now behind me. My training scheduled has been revised and I am focused again.”
Moore, who has been campaigning in the USA over the last three years, is being trained by Dillon Carew at the Gleason’s Gym in New York. He fought three times in 2013 but only once last year.
At 27, Guerfi is nine years younger than Moore. He has been defeated three times in 25 fights and was the former European bantamweight champion and the flyweight champion of France.
