giving my son a big thumbs up for winning in Portsmouth on Sunday he won on points 19-12 class C (19yrs old) at 75 kilos on only his 15th fight beating a guy whos had 40 fights and was rated one of the best in the country :D

That's great news :D
My son's school just had a visit from local boxer Callum Johnson, he allowed the kids to hold his gold medal and answered questions about how he started out as a boxer.
Not sure why he fought for Scotland but he has now become a bit of a hero for the youngers of Boston. :D
-
Excellent stuff Pete, well done to your son. I won't be picking a fight with him if we see you in Calis :D
-
thats great news trainer,not many young people can stick to the strict training aboxer needs.
-
he's played football since he was 5 and at 17 just said he's had enough and was going to box, Ive allways been involved in boxing or kick boxing and allways tried to steer him away from it but let him do it thinking he would give up quite quickly how wrong was I. so for him to win a major title within 2 years of starting is quite outstanding long may it last
-
Callums parents or grandparents are Scotish and at the time he couldent get in to the GB squad it was the same for Amir Khans brother who ended up boxing for Pakistan
-
Great stuff, well done to him Pete, give him a pat on the back from us, mind you he did look good on the phone link you had,
Our Tom is hoping for his first fight on 9th december, there is no way on this earth I will be going to watch it.

My son in law is now working as a Doctor with the British Olympic Boxing team.
He has been doing an extensive study on sport impact injuries.
He has found that a supplement of vitamin D is very beneficial to the strengthening of bone's
and reduces hand damage.
He recommends everyone, not just fighters to take this vitamin.
(hope I get a ticket to the games)

Laffa its not that bad you get in to it I have been in the corner with loads of fighters from amature to pro's but his first fight was the most nearve racking time I have ever had but I am glad I was there :)

Thanks pete, I have told him i will think about it.when is your lads next fight ?
Barry, would you know if the amount to take is a standard dose or does it go by their weight etc. cheers
-
not sure when he fights again he has the universaty championships in december but I've let him have a week of as a reward for winning LOL
he's had four fights in 5 weeks which is quite a lot so he deserves a break hope your grand son does well and dont forget in the begining it's the taking part not the winning that counts
