Anthony Fowler hopes his experience will see him prevail in a treacherous opening bout at Rio 2016.The Great Britain middleweight faces No. 5 seed Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, who won gold at the 2013 World Amateur Championships in his homeland Kazakhstan, on Monday.Fowler, who is the cousin of former England footballer Robbie Fowler, had to settle for bronze at the same 2013 World Amateur Championships after injury prevented him boxing in the semifinals.The 25-year-old, from Liverpool, is aiming to ensure Great Britain wins an Olympic middleweight boxing medal for the third successive Games following 2012 bronze medallist Anthony Ogogo and 2008 gold medallist James DeGale.Ive won gold at the Commonwealth Games and bronze at the World Championships and they have all got me ready for this, and I know for a fact Rio wont be too much for me and I will handle the pressure and perform to my best, said Fowler.I do think middleweight is one of the hardest divisions because its the average weight for a man so theres a lot more competition. Its very tough but I know on my day I can beat them all.Looking at previous middleweights, they have all done well, Anthony Ogogo got a bronze, James DeGale won gold, so hopefully I will keep that going and I dont see why not, Id love to do it.Fowlers cousin Robbie knows all about the pressure that comes with representing your country at a global tournament, having gone to two European Championships and the 2002 World Cup with England.However, the retired Liverpool striker has not been doling out advice as Anthony prepares for Rio. Robbie doesnt give me any tips about boxing, he sticks to the football and I stick to the boxing, said Fowler.Ive never really thought about talking to him about the major tournaments he has been to. Theyre such different sports. In football theres a template on the pitch, whereas I get in the ring and theres a lad trying to knock me out. Its a completely different game.People think it helps me in some way having him as my cousin, but it doesnt help me at all. He wishes me luck and thats it.The Great Britain middleweight has turned down offers to turn professional in order to pursue his dream of winning Olympic gold.Im trying to take it one step at a time but obviously turning professional is a long-term goal of mine that I might pursue after Rio, Fowler said.But at the moment my only concern is that gold medal, Ive been working towards that for six years now.
