By SecondsOut.com on Doghouse Boxing. " I want to one day become a world champion in both UFC and normal boxing at the same time" - Lovemore N'Dou. Despite failing to land a fight with Ricky Hatton, Lovemore Ndou will continue to fight the good fight. Ndou publicly made it clear that he was ready and willing to take on Hatton in his first comeback fight and donate his entire purse to the orphans of the HIV AIDS epidemic in Africa.

Ndou, a qualified lawyer, who also holds degrees in Communications and Psychology has recently returned to boxing after a 14 month layoff with a new focus, to raise money for the needy.

Ricky Hatton confirmed today that his comeback fight on November 24 will be against Vyacheslav Senchenko from Ukraine. Ndou says despite not landing the fight himself he still wishes Hatton well.

“I said before whether Hatton picks me for his comeback fight or not I will always respect his decision and continue to support him in his comeback. Despite the fact that I would like to share the ring with him someday believe me I’m one of his biggest fans.

“Ricky’s choice of opponent for his comeback fight doesn’t really affect my plans. The good fight continues. I have recently joined forces with Combat 8 and I’m set to have my debut fight on December 1^st at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.

“Combat 8 is a new form of combat sports where boxers come up against MMA fighters. I’m excited and looking forward to having my first fight. A couple more fights and I will be talking to Dana White about entering into the UFC. To do that I know I have to first prove myself in my own country. That’s why I’m prepared to take on the best MMA fighters in my division that Australia has to offer. If I can’t beat the local fighters then I should forget about a venture into UFC.

“I’m not giving up my normal boxing career. I will continue to do both. I want to one day become a world champion in both UFC and normal boxing at the same time. I know it sounds crazy but watch me. I said it before and will say it again: With my new focus, to save the children of the world, God has brought me back to this fight game better than ever. I’m fighting a good fight.
