And I did.
And I did at one point, you know, boxing, unless you talk professional, there's not a lot of money in it.
Like when I'm hearing somebody's contracts that these kids are getting for football at like 12, 13 years old, I'm like, this is crazy.
I was like, in boxing, there was a point where I was a two-time national champion, two-time European gold medalist and a world amateur champion.
I still ain't got a single penny from boxing.
Not paying anything?
Not paying nothing.
so then zero yeah zero so i was just like what am i doing this boxing thing for and by this point as well yeah at this point i've had two mild concussions and i had one severe one as well and like i ain't got paid a single penny
I'm damaging my body and I was like, what am I doing this for?
So I did.
I stopped boxing for like a good seven, eight months.

Nothing.
So I just said, what am I doing this boxing thing for?
This is a conversation that I had with my brother.
So he saw me actually in the McDonald's with the wrong crowd.
And, and then just like, he left me to it because at this point me and my brother, we wasn't living together.
And I remember he just, he just left me to it.
