Meet Sam Noakes AKA the ‘Maidstone Golovkin’, a lightweight prospect who has a perfect record of 10 fights, 10 wins, 10 knockouts
Noakes first got into boxing because of his older brother, Sean, who boxed on the undercard ofWhen asked about his origins in the sport, Noakes told talkSPORT: “Sean used to do it before I did and then I kept being a little s*** and my mum made me get into it and I’ve never looked back since.Noakes did indeed take to boxing well and this is largely due to the considerable power he carries, which he believes is his best attribute.
“I’d say power is one of [my best attributes], I’ve got a good engine too, but I think power is the main one,” Noakes said.“I think it helps that I’m on top of my opponents all the time and they can’t keep up with that and it’s obviously working.
“Out of all the fighters, I’ve probably watched the most of Golovkin,” Noakes said. “Just how he is as a sportsman, I think he’s a really nice fella in and out of the ring.”In terms of Noakes’ ambitions in the sport, he gave an honest answer, saying: “To make as much money as I possibly can.
“I’ve got the attributes to go all the way and I’m willing to work hard at it. It’s not guaranteed but I’m going to give it my best to do so.”If Noakes does want to ‘go all the way’ he will have to overcome some stiff competition, as he campaigns in the lightweight division, which is one of the most talent rich weight classes in boxing.
