My coach reckons I'll fight this season, after Christmas. I'm hoping so too, I feel like I'm right on the verge of starting my dream.  I've had my first competitive spar about 2 ish months ago at another gym, somewhere in London, where I...Sun, 23 Nov 2025 21:28:07 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1659972https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1659972Went boxing yesterday, this time I went an hour early and ended up doing the entirety of the session before the one I was meant to be at. Younger boxers but still around my weight because of how light I am for my age. I can definitely feel that I've gotten back to my old stamina after it, due to having a lot more rounds of sparring than expected, by the time the warmup for my session was happening...Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:48:22 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1640385https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1640385Finally back in the gym after my sickness, and it's immediately obvious to me that my stamina has gone down a lot, and the conditioning in my arms. They kept falling when consistently throwing straights for about the first half of the session. It has taken a small toll on me but I know that i'd be more miserable if I was to stop now, so I'm going to have to keep showing up until I'm back to where ...Thu, 29 May 2025 22:07:02 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1601402https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1601402Following the six rounds of sparring that I wrote about in bulletins, I got advised to come in early to train with the same man I was sparring to work on head movement drills, so I came in early, but a bit too early, which got me some extra rounds with some younger boxers, albeit still in my weight range due to how I'm a bantamweight. I'd assume I'm around 10 ish kg heavier than them, but they wer...Tue, 13 May 2025 20:52:47 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1585772https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1585772Another boxing session today, though I've had a lot since my last post. I try and box about 2 times a week at minimum, but had minor bouts of inconsistency. I have news on the skill bouts, I am officially too old for them, therefore I will be training up for my real bouts. A conversation about this topic put something into perspective for me, I was going to have to train a lot harder if I wanted a...Tue, 06 May 2025 21:06:17 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1541656https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1541656First post here, took me about an hour to find out how to edit my profile but I've figured it out now. I'm a boxer and have been for about 2 years at this point, and I am trying to compete in amateur bouts.  My coach has said that he has considered setting up my skill bouts but I might be too old for them, so I'll have to wait for longer until I am in the ring if that is the case.Thu, 17 Apr 2025 23:59:03 +0000
