I am not a boxer, I'm just committed to seeing where a good story takes me.

So on the 12th of April, I will be taking part in a charity boxing event for Minds. Minds is a mental health charity that provides resources to help improve people's mental health and lobbies the government on their behalf.

The original idea was to find an amateur boxer with plenty of personality and to make a short documentary about their training and lifestyle. But finding a willing candidate for the film proved impossible.

And then it occurred to me - why don't I sign up for a fight, train hard, film it, and learn a bit about what it takes.
