I got into the sport pretty late; don't do any competitive stuff, just the heavy bag and the focus pads to work in with the cardio and the weights. But I live in Belfast, so fights outside of the ring are a regular occurance.:deal
boxed for 10 years until i got in a car crash that left me with limited movement in my left leg. (ended up with a blood clot on my brain) the closest i get to boxing now is on my Wii and the odd idiot who decided to start fights with me when i am out.
Done a bit of sparring, but wasn't any good so do the circuit classes with bags and speedball really.
I was acctually active in lots of amateur bouts back in 2005 to 2006. Stopped boxing in 2007 and just started again a few months ago hoping to have a bout in september
I've been boxing for about 2.5 years. I've had 3 fights but none in the last 11 months as I've been too busy with work and have been travelling a bit too. I'm hoping for a clear run through the summer though and have my next bout at the end of the summer.
