The 22-year-old undefeated national super bantamweight champion and UBO Africa Super Bantamweight title holder sees no competition on the continent and is setting his sights on a world title.
"Nothing can stop me now. I have already conquered the continent. My next fight at Labone is just a cakewalk. I am looking for the world title now," Gorsh told Graphic Sports in an interview in Accra.
Popularly known as 'The Emperor,' Gorsh, who remains unbeaten, is currently ranked fifth on the WBO African ranking. His last fight saw him stop challenger, Samuel Danso, in a five-round contest in Kumasi on July 5.
"The Danso fight was just a tune-up for my fight on August 24. I didn't want him to waste my time, which is why I stopped him in the first round," he confidently remarked.
Under the guidance of famed coach Lawrence Carl Lokko, Gorsh has blossomed into one of the nation's most prized boxers and a leading prospect for a world title.
With a professional record of 12 bouts without a loss, Gorsh believes his time has come to become a world champion.
"I believe this is my time to become a world champion. I have been training hard for this for the past five years. I will wait for the opportunity, and I won't fail Ghanaians when the time comes," he stated.
