The 30-year-old former bodybuilder will compete on BCB Promotions’ Now Or Never event at the Genting Arena on Saturday.

And after getting his big break at an arena show, he is planning to keep moving up the ladder.

“It is massive for me to be in the Genting,” said Sen, from Birmingham. “I remember going to watch Sean Davis fight Gamal Yafi in the Barclaycard Arena in 2016 and thinking one day I want to get to these big arenas.

“Now I have been given that opportunity in just my third fight and I feel very lucky to have that. I am keeping my head down and focusing and just making sure I am in the best possible condition on fight night.

“We are entertainers. People are coming and spending their hard-earned money to watch us so I want to go out there and perform.

“I want people to go away and talk about me after this one and get excited about my next fight.

“I want to climb the ladder as quickly as possible and take all the opportunities that I get given.

“After this fight I want to step up to a six-rounder and then there are options for the Challenge Belt and Midlands Area title which I would like to get my name on. This fight will be the start of my journey towards even bigger things.”

Sen was set to face Wolverhampton’s Joshua Burke, but Burke was ruled out last week with a knee injury. A new opponent is yet to be named.
