KEY TAKEAWAYS

The journey of overcoming significant challenges, such as losing a boxing career due to an eye injury, highlights the importance of resilience. Instead of succumbing to despair, one can choose to grow through adversity and find new paths in life.
Losing a long-held identity as a boxer forced a deep exploration of self. This process led to a better understanding of personal motivations, desires, and the realisation that fulfilment comes from within rather than external achievements.
It's essential to appreciate what one has while still aspiring for more. Recognising the value of current circumstances can open doors for new opportunities and enhance overall happiness.
Relationships play a crucial role in personal growth. The experience of navigating through a marriage and subsequent breakup provided valuable lessons about love, attention, and the importance of mutual growth in partnerships.

BEST MOMENTS

"One punch, it wasn't even a punch, it was a forearm. One forearm bashed me in the eye and I lost my career, my dream, my ambition, but also my identity."

"I always wanted attention. I realised if I worked really hard at school, I got attention from the teachers. If I did stuff in sport, I got attention, and I loved it."

"You can either go through adversity or you can grow through adversity. You can become a better person because of the shit you go through."

"It's easy to romanticise the life you think that you would have had as if it was going to happen that way."

"I wanted to be a beacon of light for people, not just from my town, but from towns like London, Liverpool, or Birmingham."
