Boxing legend Roy becomes a Terrier: Fes

battling mental scars and depression from the setback – Batista is in a three-month training camp at the Jones gym in Florida, and with the backing of Town from their nickname.

The former Moorend High student, who originally fought under his real name of Mohammed Faisal, hopes to have a comeback fight in April.

And “The Terrier” reports all is going nicely so far.

“I am working hard, the training is going well and I am learning something new from Roy every day,” said Batista, who has told his trainer all about Town’s success in reaching the Premier League.

Jones Jnr is one of the sport’s greatest fighters.

The 48-year-old is still boxing himself and may even be in action next month for the 75th fight of a glittering career.

He has won world titles at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight and is the only boxer in history to start his professional career at light middleweight and go on to be world heavyweight champion.

The multi-award winning fighter is a very strict trainer and someone who teaches his fighters by physically having one-to-one sessions with them in the ring.

He teaches ‘old school’ techniques for fitness, too, and is considered by many as one of the best pound-forpound boxers of all time.
