Talent is overrated 11/04/2011
I keep being asked if I will fight again. I wish I knew. It's been said that I possess such talent & that I'm wasting it because I'm not serious enough. I wish someone spelled out to me what is meant by serious,I'm obviously not getting it. I learned how to recover from paralysis in my left arm through reading & exercises. I got to represent my country in several international amateur boxing tournaments & I did so while running a successful boxing gym with my partners. My talent or quality in that domain is nothing more than my willingness to learn. Most of my improvements in boxing were fueled in equal parts by anger, spite of whatever made me feel like a victim then & a deep need to validate myself to the eyes of others. I drained myself in the process & blood tests drawn a year ago revealed that I had become or always was diabetic. I've been mostly unsucessful in securing a fight date with any of the major promoters.Where I stand, having invested over 20 000$ in my professionnal boxing career two years in, I can truly state that my career is complete at any moment.Yet, I remain curious... learning the ropes of professionnal boxing promotion is becoming more tempting everyday.
