I wanted to share the story of one remarkable journey and the power of turning personal loss into purpose. After losing my beloved son at the age of 21, boxing became a way to find focus, after all hope was lost it has given me strength, and peace. What began as a personal outlet on the unlicensed boxing scene only 4 years ago grew into something extraordinary: a professional career that began later in life and quickly proved that determination can change everything.

At 48, this journey reached a new level with four professional wins, including a 2nd round knock out in my second fight to win the Eurasia heavyweight title and a stunning seven-second victory to claim the WBF International cruiserweight title in my 4th professional fight. But this story is about far more than boxing. It is about honouring a loved one’s memory, raising awareness for families who know heartbreak too well, and supporting a football team made up of fathers who have also lost a child.

With a fundraising target of £200,000 this page is here to help continue that mission, build awareness, and make a lasting difference for others who need hope and support. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement helps keep this journey moving forward in the most meaningful way.

If you can, please donate and share this page with others who may want to stand behind this inspiring cause. Your support means more than words can say, and it helps turn a personal journey into a powerful force for good.
