Why did you begin your sport?
I was curious, I worked close to a boxing gym and was playing soccer and got sick of getting rained out all the time so I gave it a go and I instantly wanted to see how good I could get.
Do you have any pre-competition routines or rituals?
not really. I try not to be overly superstitious I just try to go with what feels right before that particular event. Although I do like to wear fun socks in the ring.

Going to the World Championships in 2016 is definately up there. That was an amazing experience.
