Even in jest, that is a very bold prediction for someone who has never boxed before to make to a 53 fight pro veteran - it would take you 6 years learning to box for Coco not to make you look like a monkey in the ring - then your only future would be on a PG Tips advert!

True, alot of people underestimate the likes of vet's...all due respect as they're essential to the sport - and there's plenty of them who could easily win some of the fights they're given.

I am, and I work two jobs!! Its tough but possible. I proritise my training now everything else fits around that!

Coco, looking at your record - I was REALLY surprised to see that Scott Dixon is still active. Man I thought he was forced to retire YONKS ago. How was he when you fought him. Boxing in Malta, is that cause of licence issues.

Yeah Scott is still in great nick as the pic shows when he was training for the fight, I think he is still only 33.
Obv he is not fighting at the level he was but he has been living in Malta for a few years now and is at the forefront of boxing on the island both promoting and fighting, he is very much a hero there with really big crowds coming to watch him fight.
