Finlay McKerell

I started boxing just because I wanted another hobby, something to keep me active and try something new. At first, I didn’t think much of it—I just wanted to give it a go and see if I enjoyed it. But after my first few sessions, everything changed. The training was tough, but it felt amazing pushing myself and learning new skills. The sound of the gloves hitting the pads, the focus it takes to move properly, and the discipline you need in the ring all made me fall in love with the sport. I’m Finlay and I’m 14 years old, and boxing has quickly become a big part of my life. It’s not just about fighting; it’s about improving every day, staying fit, and building confidence. Every training session teaches me something new, whether it’s better footwork, stronger punches, or staying calm under pressure. I also love the respect in boxing. You train hard, push through challenges, and learn to believe in yourself. It’s a sport that tests both your body and your mind, and that’s what makes it so special to me. I’m going to keep training, working hard, and getting better every day. I’d love to become a Scottish champion or even British or even better European champ. 🥊
