Through hard times and adversity… With discipline and dedication… I have given my heart and soul to the Beautiful sport… Boxing is a brotherhood and sisterhood of a rare breed… a family built on respect by those who know the pain and sacrifice required to even climb through the ropes and into an environment where your months and years of pushing yourself beyond your limits, are showcased in a short and dangerous display of controlled extreme violence… No greater respect can be earned or given than that which is gained by your brothers and sisters… I salute every single one of you.. from world, national, regional champions… to the novice competitor experiencing their first competitive fight in a boxing ring for a charitable cause. You all have immersed yourselves in months of hard work to be prepared to be judged by all, No hiding, No excuses… just courage, effort and reward. I am proud to be your brother… I send this message to say… I have decided that 2026 will be my final year of competitive Boxing… I have 3 fights left in this wonderful sport this year and will train and fight like I have done for all the years in this sport i Love and have lived… I hope to one day have grandchildren on my knees and tell them the story of. WHEN WE WERE WARRIORS 🥊👑🥊
