FLOYD NJENGA MY STORY<br />

My current and future Goals<br />

I am currently with Bromley and Down club as a captain<br />

and I have been with them for last 4 years. In November<br />

2017, I won the Novice ABA class B middle weight<br />

championship making me a national champion, then<br />

from that point, I have moved to national elite boxer<br />

which means I am ranged as one of the skilled boxers<br />

in the country and I am able to fight anyone regardless<br />

of their record and experience. In mid April 2018, I<br />

joined the Senior ABA Elite championship where I had<br />

a fight and during this fight, I fractured my wrist and I<br />

struggled, I continued and won it.<br />

After this fight, I had to make a serious decision of<br />

withdrawing from the championship because the injury<br />

left me in a bad state.<br />

Despite the injury I still have the ambition to push<br />

myself further.<br />

My future ambition is to fight in international<br />

championship which will make me an international elite.<br />

Hopefully, I will join to be able to join GB squad and win<br />

a gold trophy for them.<br />

Motivation<br />

Being the eldest in the family, I would love to set a good<br />

example to my siblings to show them that hardwork and<br />

determination pays off. My brother who is 14 is inspired<br />

and he would like to join me in boxing and built his<br />

career like me and to be somewhere some day.<br />

I am currenty the Bromley & Downham boxing club<br />
