"It's not that I'm over the Olympics. I'm devastated. It's something that will always be with me. But I just need to get on with life." "In sport, I am ruthless. If I believe in something and I really want to do it, I will do it, regardless of what happens and what the consequences are. I think every boxer and every athlete should not care about anybody else but themselves."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/780018779182989312 With world champions past and present, such as Liam Smith and Billy Joe Saunders, training out of his new gym, Barnes has made his ambitions for the pro-leagues clear - he wants to bring more belts back to MGM and to Ireland.
"I could have five or six years easily as a pro. My aim is to win a world title at flyweight, a world title at super flyweight and a world title at bantamweight. I want to be a three-weight champion." "Hopefully I can do it in three or four years. I'm not going into professional boxing for the fun of it, you know. I'm in there to make as much money as I can and to bring pro titles back to Ireland."The full interview can be found in the Sunday Business Post.
