I first stepped into a boxing gym at the age of 10, with the simple goal of losing weight and becoming fitter. But truthfully, I hated it at first After only a few sessions, I walked away, convinced boxing wasn’t for meI tried my hand at countless other sports, searching for something that would ignite a fire inside me, but nothing ever came close Then I remember watching Anthony Joshua vs Charles Martin. Something changed I saw the excitement, the atmosphere and the greatness that could be achieved through boxing, and it reminded me of what I had walked away from Four years after my first session, at the age of 14, I returned to the sport and this time, I never looked back. What started as a way to get fitter has become my greatest passion, my purpose and a huge part of who I am . Boxing has taught me discipline, sacrifice, resilience and the importance of believing in yourself long before the world believes in you. I’m building my name in the amateur ranks, hungry to keep improving, testing myself against the best and turning my potential into something special. My ambitions stretch far beyond where I am today. I want to become a world champion and cement my name among the greatest to ever lace up a pair of gloves. I know the journey won’t be easy, and I’m prepared for everything that comes with it Through my work ethic, discipline, natural ability and, above all, my faith in God, I believe I have what it takes to go all the way. I’m not here just to take part. I’m here to make a name for myself, leave a legacy and become the best to ever do it.
