What a night 🤝
Congratulations having about 4 opponent changes leading up but always gets on with the task at hand and getting the win against a very good worthy fighter.
we rolled the dice as a replacement to step in for an injured fighter for a 10 round welterweight championship with minimal boxing experience against an undefeated pro, plus a former Olympian & commonwealth games rep.
It wasn’t our night last night but extremely proud of the performance. A converted kickboxer to boxing and only 5 months into this journey as a full time boxer, to be matching skills against such a celebrated fighter is something to proud of.
The fight momentum was swaying back and forth until round 7 where our opponent landed a good shot and with his wealth of experience was able to use that momentum to force the stoppage.
More time in the game and abit more experience it could have been a different story but respect to the new BX9 welterweight champion John Ume 🤝.
As always thanks to our team mates and coaches
Team George Boxing 🥊 x 🤝.
