"To inspire and create a legacy" - Ellis Badr Barboza on what he wants to achieve when all is said and done

For Ellis Badr Barboza, fighting is more than just a professional career that he does for a living because he is doing it for legacy and to inspire the next generation of fighters.

This is precisely what he said when asked by the Fightlore Official YouTube channel during his latest appearance on the channel.

According to Barboza, it is something that he plans to build on by saying:

"Fighting for me, it is all about legacy. I have a passion for Muay Thai, but it's more than that. I like to inspire the next generation. I like to show that people that come from nothing like me that you can find something you like, work hard, and you can become something. So that's the main thing for me. To inspire and create a legacy coming from nothing and building something."
