  1. You lost two straight matches in a row; how have you motivated yourself for your next match?<\/strong><\/li>\n

    \n<\/ol>\n

    The losses have made me more motivated than ever to prove my boxing ability. The hunger and passion that I had when I first started boxing is back and I have the unwavering support of so many people for which I’m very grateful and I want to do them proud.<\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You had a serious accident which left you unable to box for 18 months. How was your recovery?<\/strong><\/li>\n

      \n<\/ol>\n

      The accident and the injuries I got from it were another setback, and it was a very difficult time for me. Waiting for my body to heal, the uncertainty of whether the accident had made a big impact on my boxing ability, and then getting back into training was frustrating and worrying, but I recovered and got back on track through sheer determination.<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. How did it affect your recovery and comeback?<\/strong><\/li>\n

        \n<\/ol>\n

        Recovery was difficult as I was told that I couldn’t fight anymore, and this was extremely disheartening, but I was determined, and I threw myself into training, I remember working so hard, but that’s what made full recovery and my come back possible.<\/div>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/div>\n

        <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. How did it feel knowing you were so close to getting the British title?<\/strong><\/li>\n

          \n<\/ol>\n

          Well it had been the goal for a while, and to have been so close and not quite get there was a massive disappointment. My team and I are aware of my talent and ability, so I’m confident I’ll get there again and win.\u00a0<\/div>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/div>\n

          <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \u00a0How has turning professional changed your life?<\/strong><\/li>\n

            \n<\/ol>\n

            There’s a lot more responsibility involved in turning professional, and it’s more difficult than I thought it would be. You have to centre everything around training and your entire focus is on boxing at all times. However it’s all worth it, I get to do what I love.\u00a0<\/div>\n

            <\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/div>\n

            <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Who has been your boxing inspiration?<\/strong><\/li>\n

              \n<\/ol>\n

              Muhammad Ali, because of everything he has achieved in and out of the ring. I admire his strength of character.<\/div>\n

              <\/p>\n

              \u00a0<\/div>\n

              <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. In your professional life who is your role model?<\/strong><\/li>\n

                \n<\/ol>\n

                I’m not sure about role model, but there’s definitely people I look up to a lot, one being Mark Bateson, my trainer. He’s put a lot of time in to me and he’s very dedicated.\u00a0<\/div>\n

                <\/p>\n

                \u00a0<\/div>\n

                <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. What is the ultimate dream?\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n

                  \n<\/ol>\n

                  The ultimate dream is to win as many titles as possible become a world champion, prove myself as a great fighter and make all the people involved in my journey proud.<\/div>\n
