So you wanna be a boxer?

I am fighting in the IFS White Collar Boxing match in Singapore to be held on the 17^th March 2012. Just to give you an idea White Collar Boxing is a chance for people who want to compete in a highly competitive boxing match, but have little or no prior experience, to fight in a totally professional environment.

Please take a look at a recent event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdSpERofu8U&feature=g-vrec&context=G26b980eRVAAAAAAAAAQ . It is organised by Vanda Promotions http://vandapromotions.com/ and they also do events in Hong Kong twice a year.

I will be representing the company I work for, Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), www.slh.com, who will be donating great prizes on the fight night to raise money for the The Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), which is a charity that  provides a range of specialized rehabilitation surgical services for disabled Cambodian children and adults, a very worthy cause considering Cambodias recent histoy. http://www.csc.org/

Now I would be lying if I said I considered myself a good fighter. The last time I had a fight I was 12. I made a fundamental schoolboy error as I broke my finger on the boy’s head but he delivered a straight right and I got a bloody nose.

Therefore I will have to train pretty hard or the only thing SLH will want to sponsor will be the bottom of my boots.

I will be updating weekly on how my training is going and giving hints and tips to aspiring wannabe boxers!
