Age: 16 From: Barnet Been boxing for: 4 years Hero: Mike Tyson Music entering the ring: Any hip hop
I do a lot of starvin [to pass the pre-fight weigh-in]. Sometimes I have to lose, I dunno, say 2 kilos or sumfink. The days before the fight, I cant really eat much. So I think about the other boxer. I think about what that boxer has put me through. Ill be watching all my family eat and Ive gotta have beans on toast.
When youre in the fight and you punch someone, only for a split second do you think about that shot, and then its back on your guard again. But later, when you watch it on the video, you will be replaying it for a long time.
I can only see me boxing until Im 28, 29 at the most. So my mates aint gonna change that much. Theyre all gonna be doing the same thing, going up the pub. So Im not missing out. I aint smoking, I aint drinking. I aint doing what all my mates like to do or anything. Boxing keeps me nice and healthy.
