How did you get your fight name?
My fighting name is “Skinner”. My friends nicknamed me this after a ruthless older guy from the Bluff who was notorious for destroying everything in his path. My nickname then became my fight name.

Tell us about your most memorable fight?
This has to be my international fight in New Zealand against Arthur Lasike. It was my first trip overseas. I didn’t really have a corner so had to do it all on my own. They only told me when I got there that it was going to be a pro fight. It was really tough mentally but I gave my best performance and I won the fight with a choke in 1 minute and 26 seconds.

My hero would definitely be my mom as she taught me how to fight every battle thrown my way.
