    I don't. I've stopped sparring and fighting now.

    I did it when I was 15. I had 5 fight after only 6 months of training and went 1-4.

    I came back to it recently (aged 20) as I am the captain for my University team. I competed in the english championships recently to help get the club going (it was fairly stagnant until now) and I managed to loose first round. Didn't help I had to drive 250 miles, get 5 hours sleep and then drive another 100 miles to the venue lol.

    Also, I don't like the effects I get during sparring/fighting when I came back to it. When I get hit I get colour patches in my vision so I avoided sparring sometimes.

    I am the captain for the club as I am good at organising and I understand the principles of boxing and like training people. I just don't like taking shots.

      I almost got into boxing when I was 16 but decided I liked my face too much for it to get all messed up haha. Got an education instead.

              I have been doing boxing for a year now. I have been training like for 6-7 month now and have fought 1 amateur fight!!!!! Is hell of fun. But for the people that think this is easy they are wrong. You have to train very very hard, to even be in shape, let alone preparing for the fight!!!!!!
