In the world of boxing, strategy is everything. Each punch thrown is a calculated move, much like a game of chess. The ultimate goal is not just to strike but to outthink your opponent and deliver that final, decisive blow—checkmate. As we prepare for the upcoming BBFC Charity fight, this philosophy rings true. It’s about quiet preparation, relentless training, and the power of focus. Victory isn’t just about brute strength, but timing, patience, and precision. Stay tuned. The time to say checkmate is fast approaching. 🥊👊 #BBFC #BusinessBoxing #MoveInSilence #Checkmate #BoxingStrategy #CharityFight #MindOverMatter #StayFocused

Today is the day. 🥊 Six months ago, I started on a journey to help raise funds for a charity is doing tremendous work and changing lives for the better. I agreed to get comfortable with the uncomfortable by doing something I had never done before – something I had never imagined doing - participating in a live, fully sanctioned boxing event. I must admit, with only a few hours until the bell rings, I’m still feeling a little uncomfortable. I mean, my opponent I will be alone in the ring, under bright lights, with almost 600 people (plus special guest announcer Sugar Ray Leonard. Yes, the Sugar Ray Leonard) cheering and screaming for us to hit harder, move quicker, go for the knock out shot. Not to mention – have you seen my opponent? But nerves and a little discomfort can be a powerful motivator. When speaking in front of an audience or prepping for a media interview, I always tell myself and/or spokespeople “if you don’t have some butterflies, you shouldn’t go out there. A little bit of nerves will keep you honest and focused.” And I am most definitely focused. I’ve been visualizing everything about tonight, preparing for any situation. What I’ve realized above all is that regardless how it goes, everything about this experience has exceeded my expectations. I had originally set three goals: 1. Raise money for Pinball Foundation, a charity doing important work and making positive change. - I am so close to my stretch fundraising target of $15,000 (Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gE4gKKd5), if you add in ticket sales, it's more than $30,000 from my network. 2. Get back in shape. - After 4 years of Covid-induced lethargy, including 2 surgeries, I needed something to force me into action. With training, I’ve lost 20 pounds and feel I’m in the best shape I've been in a very long time. 3. Create memories. - #VictoryGala is an incredible event, and it was important to me that my family and friends were engaged and involved. My closest group of friends go back over 45 years, and we will be friends for at least another 45. Everything about this experience will be told and retold countless times in the coming decades. So, as far as I’m concerned, I’m already 3/3, having surpassed each goal I set. Whatever the outcome tonight, I know the young leaders in the Pinball Foundation programs are the real winners, but so am I, and so are all of the participants and everyone involved. A huge thank you to Kevin Mathiasz, MBA for enlisting me, to Mayron and the team at www.favelatc.com for the training, and to everyone at PCF for the work they put in to give back every single day. Importantly, thank you to my amazing family for putting up with the time commitment and constant discussions about boxing, and to everyone who has supported my effort with donations, words of encouragement, and moral support. Thanks to all of you, I’m ready to rumble. 🥊 🥊 #gratitude #community

A rugby career naturally takes place right in the public eye. As a result of this, you will likely find that you build a public platform for yourself alongside your rugby career. This platform can be hugely useful in securing brand partnerships and boosting your wealth, both during your career and after. But crucially, it can also be a way for you to champion social causes and charities that mean something to you. Read our blog, linked below, to discover five positive ways you can use your platform as a rugby player.

This weekend, I did something that felt completely out of my comfort zone—I stepped into the boxing ring for a white-collar boxing match. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride that packed a punch in more ways than one! 😅 A HUGEEE thank you to everyone who donated via my GoFundMe and raised over £1,245 for Greengate Trust & Yemaid! 💕 When I first signed up, it was all about raising money for a cause close to my heart. But as I got deeper into training, I realised that what I was gaining went far beyond the charity aspect. Pushing myself to do something I didn’t need to do—but wanted to—was a huge personal win. The feeling of empowerment that came from sticking to a training regime and getting to the end was great! There were moments in the ring where all the preparation I had done seemed to fly out the window. It was one of those moments where life reminds you that, no matter how ready you think you are, surprises can hit hard. The real lesson was that it’s not about avoiding those punches (because life will always throw some at you). It’s about how you adjust your stance, change your technique, and keep moving forward. One of the most rewarding parts of the entire experience was hearing my family cheering for me in the crowd. Knowing that I was showing them, firsthand, that stepping out of your comfort zone leads to growth in every area of life was an incredible feeling. In both boxing and life, preparation is important. But what’s even more crucial is the resilience to adapt when things don’t go as planned. There’s something so powerful in challenging yourself in all times of life regardless of the odds. (BTW the result was a draw and I LOVED every second of it!) #whitecollarfight

2024 Christmas Hamper Appeal at Newton Abbot Rugby Club. 🎁 As you are all most likely aware, living costs have not improved for anyone over the last few years. For those already on the cusp of survival, the latest inflation hikes mean simply putting food on the table to survive is not getting any easier. Some have to make the decision between Food or Heating the house. Parents are not eating, so their children can, and families eat once or twice a day instead of three times because they simply can not afford to put the food on the table. We will not fix the problem overnight or combat child poverty with a Christmas Hamper, but we can make Christmas a little easier for those families who do not deserve the hardship they find themselves in. ❤️ We will look to supply 150 Hampers, that's around 600 people, over the Christmas period. CAN YOU HELP? 🙏 There are many families and individuals that find themselves in a much better position than those that qualify for a hamper this year. Each of the hampers the Rugby Club supply will cost around £30, but not without the help of our own Commercial Partners providing products either much cheaper than retail price or free of charge, which we are incredibly grateful for. Here's how you can help: 🎅 1. Share this post far and wide. 2. Donate whatever you can afford - https://buff.ly/3OIONTl 3. Buy a box or two. By donating £30, you will supply a Hamper for another family. We will look to raise £4000 pounds, and any extra will go back into the pot for next year's community projects. Donate Here - https://buff.ly/3OIONTl Would you benefit from a Christmas Hamper? Like our previous Christmas Hamper Appeals, We offer a "No Questions Asked" basis to put your name down for a Christmas Hamper. All we require you to do is email onecommunity@narfc.co.uk to qualify. Newton Abbot Rugby Club
