For all my fighters a busy gym means progressive training. Important for all my fighters. What can one learn and experience in the sport of boxing that other sports dont offer? - The science behind boxing. Boxing is like a game of chess but not just mentally, physically as well . Imagine being on ur last breathe, to the brink of exhaustion and you still have to be 100% focused. Boxing tests every part of who you are. What can boxing do for the body to help it remain healthy and fit? - Boxing is one of the very few sports that works every muscle group in ur body. The strength and conditioning is amazing and it has extremely high cardio. Boxers are amongst the fitness athletes in the world. Do you think testing and training your body & mind with high intensity helped you battle cancer? - Boxing has given me personally so much. If I wasn’t so strong mentally and physically, I really don’t think I would have beaten my cancer. I’ve had a great career in modelling & boxing has definitely given me the body for that and the gratification of training kids and fighters. Helping them to become more then they could even imagine is the best feeling in the world. Getting back on your feet, Working harder than ever. What can you tell us about your new gym? - VIP is more of a one on one experience. Concentrated training not only for boxing but fitness and weight loss. Is there any projects right now that you are currently working on? - Right now I’m really concentrating on VIP Boxing, But later on in the year ill be heading over to California to check out a few gyms. I’m hoping to draw some sort inspiration on maybe encouraging more kids and women into our sport. If all goes well I might think about setting up something in California.
