“Boxing to me, is just a release,” Wanna added. “I love every minute of it and, I mean, the ultimate goal is world champion and defending my titles for a very long time and becoming a Hall of Famer. That’s the real goal for me.”

But this isn’t something that just came up out of the blue — Wanna explained his parents would watch boxing all the time when he was a kid … and naturally, he fell in love with the sport.

“I wanted to go somewhere where I knew that I was gonna be valued, and a place that I knew that they were going to care about me a lot, and a place with a lot of talent,” Wanna added. “Everyone over at MVP is very talented and they’ve all done such amazing things in their career.”

Wanna praised Jake for being a “very sharp” and “super laid back” guy … and told us he hopes to learn from the YouTuber-turned-boxing star.

We asked Wanna straight-up where he saw himself in 10 years … and he’s confident in his future.

“In boxing, I’m a world champion and I’ve been defending my belts for a very long time. And I’m killing it, I’m killing it.”
