Why did you not Box?

[Master]

Karate Kid the movie.

I'd be about 7 when that came out and although all my family were boxers I insisted on doing that instead. I hated it and only stuck at it because my Dad promised me £100 if I got my black belt. I quit the day after I achieved it.

By the time I realised I should've done boxing I was a teenager and cared more for girls and getting off my face. Plus if I'm honest I was too scared/wise to walk into the gym by then.

Have you ever been to the gym Willenhall Road?

No mate, know where you mean though. The lad I work with trains there from time to time. I'm from Wednesfield so Graisley Lane would be my local gym but that's a shithole.

I trained at Graisley School and another warehouse factory nearby.

Amir Khan visited the one I mentioned a few years ago.
