    Thanks Larry and Greg, I wish you the best as well. May we both kick ass. Fourth time I'm going in the squared circle but I'm just as scared as the first time :lol:

    Good luck, guys!

    On Monday I'm going for a two week training camp in Lithuania. Will also have two fights. Was supposed to enter the Bocskai Memorial Cup in Hunargy, but it fell through for some reason... Anyway, already had three fights this month! Looking forward to next month. :D

    This will impact my upcoming fight(s):

    About a week ago we heard that my trainer has cancer, in his stomach and throat. Yesterday we got the news that it's terminal, and treatment will probably extend his life by mere months. He gave his last training today. So next Saturday we're fighting for him, that's how it felt to all the competing boxers. The pressure feels insane.

    How? You turned pro mate?

    It's the only way we can honour him. He's been giving to the boxing school for over two decades, there's nothing else we can give him back.

    No, the Norwegian Boxing Federation pays me for being on the national team now.
    Ohh... Too bad with the whole situation. Very sorry to hear about it. But it's a good thing you guys are doing.

    I didn't even know that was possible, making money fighting as an amateur. That's pretty cool though.

    Yeah it's pretty ****ed up. You know how closely knitted a boxing gym is, it was very depressing tonight in training.

    Haha, yeah. They're really putting a lot of work into us until the European Championships this summer, and the next Olympics.
    I know... It's just like one big family.

    Btw, did you see my last fight?

    Beautiful man, you beat the **** out of him. A total mismatch, he was nowhere near your level. Poor guy :)

    Haha, thank you. Yeah, I know. He sat there crying after the fight. A guy I know took some photos of him. Can't wait to see them. :lol:

    Yeah, I can be a bad person. But who cares... :p
