To me it happened like this; I used to be a wrestling fan (lol I know), but that got way too repetitive and predictable. I wanted to follow something else. So we had just gotten DirecTV and they were running an ad on Mosley-Vargas 1 and I watched like an half hour show preview of the fight. So I got intesrested in that fight and watched it and got hooked on it. Haven't looked back. How about you???

Ditto, the wrestling, i think most teenage boys went through wrestling phase and into Boxing, so i will always hold a respect for WWE/F for giving me this gift.

Saw Benn v Eubank as a kid, watched a few of their fights after that and a couple of years later Prince naseem arrived on the scene and i watched all his fights and got mroe into it.

Me dear mum always had the boxing on (back in the free ITV days), and I kept watching it. Loved Bruno, Benn and Eubank. About 18 years later she's not too keen on it anymore, but I am.

Went to the gym, where a mate trained, after getting bored with kungfu.

I got into boxing because of my Dad who use to pit me and my brother to get to fight, Then show us video footage of past fighters like Ray leonard but i never took it seriously like i did when i saw NAZ fight, I was hooked and obsess with boxing from then on...
