🥊 Pride in the Ring: Power in the Punch 🥊
Last month, I delivered a session for Black History Month at King's College London @kcl_london, introducing students and staff to some of the fundamentals of boxing.

Everyone got stuck in, swapping between pad work and combinations, learning not just how to punch but how to hold pads properly for a real workout.

We wrapped up with a short talk where I shared my story in boxing, gave some fitness and nutrition advice, and spoke about getting into the sport, whether just for fun or competitively.

Great energy. Great people. Great conversations. My first ever university talk, and it wasn’t as nerve-wracking as I thought. Once you start, it’s just sharing what you love.

Can’t wait to go back. Maybe next time I’ll be coming to your university 👊🏾

⏪SWIPE LEFT⏪
Here's the highlights of my bout on Saturday! There's nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of getting in the ring, and this weekend's bout was no exception!

There was no excitement beforehand, I was stressed out by a whirlwind of life events - moving house, balancing work, coaching, and celebrating my missus' birthday.

It felt overwhelming at times, but it couldn't keep me from training hard, stepping onto that canvas and giving it my all.

It was a harder fight than it looked as my opponent wasn't quite negative, looking to come forward, spoil and make it look messy. I had to try and split the guard and hook behind the gloves and elbows on the backfoot to rack up points and score eye-catching shots. What do you guys think?

This experience served as a powerful reminder of the challenges and sacrifices every fighter faces, both inside and outside the ring. As a coach, it's crucial to understand these struggles firsthand, and this bout has only deepened my empathy and dedication to my fighters.

We're all in this together, pushing our limits and conquering life one round at a time.

To everyone who's ever had to juggle life's responsibilities while pursuing their passion, know that you're not alone. Embrace the challenges and let them fuel your growth as an athlete and as a person.

Here's to the life of a fighter - a constant balancing act, but one that's ultimately worth every ounce of sweat and every tough decision. 👊🏿🔥

Yesterday I had my first impromptu strength contest at the @arnoldsportsuk with the @silverbackgymwear team! Amazing feeling from the crowd, to the motivating words from legendary strongman @kazmanaught and bagging 1st place 🥇😛

I’d like to thank my African mum for making me regularly farmer’s carry 342 bags from Netto back home 😂 . Think I’ve found a new hobby as I’ve been bitten by the bug, and I’d definitely compete again either at strongman or powerlifting 💪🏿. Massive highlight to an already incredibly fun weekend, already counting the sleeps to the next Arnold. #IllBeBack #AreYouSilverBackStrong by @stacksfit

5 years today of SiLa 🤎

5 years together and probably only about 3 weeks apart in total.

Fun fact: we also went to the same college, at the same time, for an entire year and had no idea until 3 months into dating 🤎 taken in Manko Athens by @stacksfit
