You gotta be kidding me with this.. 25!?:huh So that means there's still hope for me to achieve something in my life?
Started when I was 17. But because in Holland (amateur) boxing is unknown like sh*t I couldn't do sh*t with it. Elevated myself a bit when I trained a month with Havana's Team in Cuba and than continued back in my country with what I was thought for 1 year. That was 5 years ago. Haven't done sh*t since 4 years when I comes to boxing training:-( Anyways I can't believe Nate STARTED boxing (training) at 24:bart
You better believe it homie. You can do anything if you set your mind to it. http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fighters/campbell_nate/bio.html " The turning point came in the middle of the night when Campbell, as he often did, was entertaining co-workers with his shadow boxing during a break. Hullett pulled up and stopped his fork lift long enough to shout, "Get your black ass out of here with that talent. You're wasting your skills. Couldn'ts never could, shouldn'ts never should and wouldn'ts never would." Campbell was moved by Big Dog. "That had a big impact on me," Campbell added. Here's this white guy calling me out like that in front of my friends. The funny thing was that the brothers agreed with him. It became a spark that changed my life." Campbell discovered his first gym, which also gave him his Galaxxy Warrior nickname: Boxing at the Galaxxy. The year was 1997, and Campbell was 24 years old. "I'd go running after I got off the graveyard shift and then go to the gym. I took a beating every day for three months. I refused to quit. My father's voice was still in my head, 'Fear no man.' In the fourth month a light came on and I began to take strides. After that, nobody in the gym could beat me." While still working at Winn-Dixie, Campbell won every state tournament he entered in 1997, 1998 and 1999 including the Sunshine State Games and the Golden Gloves. He also qualified for the Eastern Olympic Trials to be held in Scranton, Pa., but Campbell decided to turn pro because, "I had three kids and they couldn't eat trophies." So on Feb. 5, 2000, at age 27, Campbell won his debut fight, a first-round technical knockout over Scoey Fields, who weighed 143 pounds to Campbell's 137 1/4. Campbell would cause a stir by winning his next 22 fights..."
