Funniest moment in boxing?
When we went out to Denmark for the box cup we all stayed on mattresses in a classroom and in the night one of the coaches would get up at a stupidly early time and sleepwalk. There are always funny moments but its the guys at the club that make me laugh the most and always pick me up when things get tough.
