Looking at my son trying on his first pair of boxing gloves, I could see the determination on his face.
Teon was a very hyperactive child, and I wanted a sport to keep him entertained.
‘Can I try boxing, Mum?’ he’d asked me.
And it was clear from his first session that Teon was a complete natural.
You see, Teon dreamed of becoming a heavyweight boxing champion, looking up to boxing heroes such as Anthony Joshua.
And aged 16, Teon was still just as determined to reach his goals as he was as a boy.
Alongside boxing, we were a very tight knit family along with my second son, Dwight, now 14.
Going on lots of days out, I remember our last holiday to Turkey before Covid.
Quad biking, horse riding and visiting waterparks, we had such a good time.
And 13 April last yearstarted like any other day for our family unit.
