When I was a kid my dad was a tough guy, a door man in his part time second job. He showed me a few moves when I was a boy but it has never really been in my nature to think about a tear up. I have always been a fight fan though and the Rocky films did it for me. I never thought I'd end up boxing though especially in public. This is a about as far out of my comfort zone as I could ever go. I'm doing it to feel alive, for a bucket list experience and to raise some funds for a terminally ill mum. This charity does some amazing work benefiting local people and bringing the community together.
Please check out the charity www.theriffraffsociety.org
And befriend Riff Raffian on facebook by Feb 13th to watch the fights as they happen from 7.30pm
Wish me luck!!
