Why do I love boxing? I love boxing most of all because boxing, like life, is an individual sport. A person goes through life with the support of friends and family, sponsors and their career, but, ultimately, it is up to the individual to fail or succeed. The same is true of the boxer. A fighter has a trainer to teach him how to move, punch and fight. He has a manager to get him fights and advance his career. He has a promoter to expose him to the public so that he can make money. But it is the job of the fighter to put his fears aside, step into the ring, and prove himself. Talent, skills, luck and knowing the right people are great, but heart and passion are essential to succeeding in life, as well as in the ring. Life is an individual sport and no other sport mirrors life quite like boxing.
And that's why I love boxing.
