My boxing journey started as an overweight 13-year-old. I soon fell in love with the sport and competed as an amateur for the Tottenham and Enfield club, I was later accepted into the Frank Bruno boxing academy. Sadly, I hit a point in my life where I lost motivation and gained weight. It was thankfully around this time that I was introduced to Marc who rekindled my love for the sport and helped me lose over 30kg and get back into competitive boxing. I looked at going professional but after an asthma attack and hospitalisation that was not an option. It was at this point Marc sat down with me and told me his plans and thought I was the perfect fit. I gained qualifications as an amateur boxing coach, a level 2 England Boxing Coach and trainer/seconds professional license and various other courses along with experience to develop and progress boxers of any standard.

After spending the last two years working with the local schools I have seen so many kids eyes light up when training many of which found the traditional form of learning difficult so this new alternative learning could really change lives and change the opportunities available to them.
