IAN STREETZ, I BOXING COACH

Boxing is not about just beating people up. It brings together agility, power and speed with the intensity of a sprint and the endurance of a marathon. But it’s a great sport for beginners – you can build yourself up from any level. Faye was so determined and dedicated, and was honest with herself about her weaknesses. That’s important – unless you want your opponent to teach you a painful lesson, you can’t run away from them. Most people would have been intimidated to spar with someone at Amy’s level, but not Faye. That shows the heart of a fighter.
