Roberto Duran Jr. (1-0, 1 KO) is the latest 'son of a legend' to enter the pro ranks.

Duran Jr. has the name and he believes that he's got the talent.

There is a lot of pressure from the start, as his father, Hall of Famer Roberto Duran, is regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all-time.

Duran Jr. turned pro in the welterweight ranks back in March, when he knocked out Miguel Morales in the fourth round at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

At 29-years-old, Duran Jr. got a late start in the pro ranks, but he wants to carve out his own name in the sport.

It won't be easy - as boxers like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Hector Camacho Jr. had both failed to even come halfway close to reaching the success of their famous fathers.

“My dad had power. I also have power,” Duran Jr. said News 7. “To be honest, I think I can hit harder than him.

“Just watching him train was amazing. The things he did, especially performing in the ring, it was a blessing to watch him as a fighter perform the way he did, and especially knowing that that’s my dad doing that.”

Duran Jr. is planning to return in July for his second pro fight.

He realizes that the expectations for his career will be high - and he admits that he won't reach the successful heights that his father did.

“People are going to expect me to perform like my father, and accomplish things that he accomplished,” Duran Jr. said. “In all reality, I’m not going to have that long of a career like him, or maybe not even accomplish as much as he did.”

“I’m here for me now. My dad did what he did, and at the end of the day, I’m following in his footsteps but creating my own name. I knew there are going to be doubters, people that want to see me fail, and I said, ‘You know what? I know I can never match up to his career standards in boxing,’ so what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna train hard. I’m gonna prove those doubters wrong, and I’m gonna do my best.”
