In this episode of "The Voice of Boxing," I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the most inspirational young fighters in Britain today, Michael Lukali, better known as Michael King. Michael's journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the UK is nothing short of extraordinary.


Michael shared his early life experiences in Congo, where he faced extreme poverty and had to start working at the age of eight to support his family. He recounted the emotional and physical challenges he endured, including being separated from his family when they moved to the UK and he was denied a visa. Left homeless at 14, Michael's faith and determination kept him going until he was finally reunited with his family in the UK at the age of 16.


Once in the UK, Michael faced new challenges, including learning English and supporting his family financially. He worked various low-paying jobs, including as a kitchen porter and at KFC, where he was eventually fired for eating too much of the food. It was during his time at KFC that Michael discovered boxing, inspired by the high-profile fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
