Bourland, who is an ex-Golden Gloves champion and junior Olympics boxer, hung up his gloves and swapped the sport for work on the oil rigs in 2018.

Discussing his boxing career, Bourland said: ”Boxing is not easy.

”Taking punches isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I’ve been doing it for a long time, but I’m not making that much money.

”I haven’t had health insurance for a while.”

On working on the oil rigs, Bourland said: “It’s dangerous and hard work, but boxing is dangerous and is really hard work.

“After they saw my resume, I got a couple of calls, and they told me ‘You are exactly what we are looking for.’

“My dad told me, ‘You’re crazy. You know how cold it is up there?’

“So I went out and bought a bunch of thermals and stuff like that, so hopefully I will be prepared.

“I got a call about fighting for a belt in Las Vegas, but it’s only for about $10,000.

“By the time I pay my team and train for two months, it’s not that much.”
