Coach

I began boxing at 19 with South Norwood ABC and Victory ABC, quickly developing my skills and passion for the sport. Over four years, I competed in 12 amateur fights, winning 6, before stepping up to 9 semi-professional bouts, securing 7 victories. I’ve remained active in both professional and amateur gyms, continuously training, mentoring, and sharing my love for boxing.

Now, as an England Boxing Level 1 Coach at East Brighton ABC, I’m dedicated to helping others develop their skills, confidence, and love for the sport.
