MY HISTORY AS A BOXER<br />

When I was younger, I never saw myself being a boxer<br />

or doing any sport. I wasted my time hanging out with<br />

my friends and causing trouble. It was not long after I<br />

left secondary school, a good child hood friend who was<br />

older kept asking me to join him at the club but never<br />

bothered then, my friend once again approached me and<br />

told me “Floyd you are young, you should use your time<br />

wisely, you should not be causing trouble”. That’s when he<br />

introduce me to Richard, Ken and Jay. They spoke with me<br />

about Bromley and Downham Boxing club and told me<br />

about its history about they started Lewisham Boys Boxing<br />

club and how the club dates back to 1970’s.<br />

5 years later, I am still at the same club with the same<br />

coaches who helped me start off. Over the years, these<br />

guys have held my back through highs and lows in boxing.<br />

I take them as a family because of the way they have<br />

looked after me.<br />

Many boxers have tried to discourage me from the club,<br />

but I have remained with the same club. “why would I go<br />

to another club when I can get everything in my current<br />

club” Those were my thoughts.<br />

fight with<br />
