Hi everyone and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my page. 

On the 6th of April 1987 I was 12 years old and watched my first boxing bout. "Marvellous" Marvin Hagler took on Sugar Ray Leonard. Hagler lost his WBC Title with a split decision in a controversial 12 round fight. From that point I always had an interest in boxing but never had a chance to try it for myself...

If you are interested here is the fight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOHpqGaU_uI

On the 8th of July I will be taking part in a charity boxing match at Burton Market place! For those of you who know me you will be aware I am a lover not a fighter and It's by far the scariest challenge I have ever signed up for. I've got 8 weeks of tough training ahead of me before fight night.

For those of you who haven't heard of White Collar Boxing before please check out their website http://www.ultrawhitecollarboxing.co.uk

All funds raised go to Cancer Research UK - a charity I am proud to support. I'd really appreciate any support you can give.

Thanks again

"Marvellous" Jimmy Austin
