Your right promoter, I think forcing myself back into the ring is the best thing to do, I went through a season of nothing but sparing a few months back and i think thats why i didn't have this issue then, also a lot of good friends who were always my sparing partners then never turn up anymore.

I smashed my knee in a few months ago, even had to go to hospital with it and still came back fully confident after.

I have no intensions of giving up at any time, Ive come way to far for that and I would regret it badly if i did.
Great to hear! I am glad I could help in any way. Whenever you question yourself here are a few thoughts from a guy far wiser than me;

"If a man does his best, what else is there?"

"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory."

"You're never beaten until you admit it."

"All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood."

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
