"The boxing fraternity is a strange world. Everyone has an opinion but those who know me know I am genuine. But family members will be shocked as this is something I would never normally do.”

"I want to come in for the experience and leave a little bit of a trail for my kids who will be able to say: ‘My dad did that’. And it is my children who motivate me. The biggest incentive is to make them proud.

“I am hoping to overcome my fears. I’m sure I will learn a lot about myself.”
