*Set before Kabary Salem fight*
My boxing career wasn't moving in the right direction I wanted it go and I wasn't getting a big fight. Hopkins wasn't biting, there seemed to be no one else on the horizon and I needed an opponent who was going to get me motivated. I was becoming disheartened and hadn't been training with my normal fire and dedication. I wasn't pulling my weight in the gym and was out drinking and socialising more than I should have been. At that stage I don't know what I was really thinking. I was just going through the motions and needed a good kick up the arse, which is when a mysterious woman appeared in a car park just as I stepped out of my car around five o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. My kids were with me and hers was the only other car in the vicinity.
'I knew I was going to see you today,' she said. 'Things are pretty bad for you at the moment but it's all going to be OK.'
I turned back towards my car because I thought this woman was crackers. She said she was a clairvoyant and claimed she had heard from my great-grandad and had this message to deliver from him.
'At the moment you're going through a traumatic time but don't worry, it's going to get much better for you. You need to set a training goal and he's saying to me "Don't let it go, everything that you've worked for. Don't let it go." This is what he's telling you, Joe.'
She could have read about my injury in the newspapers but she couldn't have known that I wasn't bothered about my training because of the divorce.
'You get up in the morning and you don't want to run or go to the gym,' she continued. 'You're becoming depressed and you want to do nothing. You're not training properly. When are you fighting again?'
My next fight would be against Kabary Salem in October.
'You need to focus.'
It was like something from The Twilight Zone. The woman had been burnt down one side of her body when she was a kid and had almost died from her injuries. She said that the experience had left her this gift. She described my great-grandad in appearance and then she left, just as suddenly as she had arrived.

Very interesting piece there. Anybody have any opinions on it? Though I'm aware what sort of fuel this may give to the Calzaghe haters,lol. ****in petrol man.
Anyway, I find it all fascinating, and take some belief in this area. Anybody care to comment, or discuss experiences?
