    Yeah, I really felt like I could have fought a lot better, and should have, but I got my feet wet and got the win, so you know.

    2 times English Senior Champ
    Silver in the EUs
    Bronze in the Cadet World Champs
    Bronze in the Junior World Champs

    I'm probably fighting in October. Let's hope it's not a southpaw because my southpaw sparring partner and good friend broke or displaced his jaw in sparring tonight. Not sure at this point, as he's not back from the hospital yet. I hope he'll be okay, but my guess is he won't be fighting or sparring in the next few months. It was really ****ed up because he realized that as well and was barely able to suppress the tears. I really feel for him, he's in awesome shape and gave me a hiding last Saturday in sparring. All that work, out the window.

    Ps. no I did not do it.

    He's actually a top bloke, you don't meet people that honest very often. There are a few people in the gym whose jaw I would not mind being broken, but he's not one of them.

    Until now I got southpaw sparring multiple times a week, I think I sparred about 40 rounds with him just last week. I'm actually rather comfortable sparring them, although it does present problems with footwork mainly.

    It wasn't his jaw but a broken zygomatic arch.

    Have a fight on Saturday. I haven't fought in nearly six months due to fights getting canceled last minute, an injury and not having any opponents available for me. Been training hard the whole time and I'm excited to finally get back in the ring.

    I reckon I'll be fighting at the end of October-early September. Nothing official yet though.
