Background: I started boxing from the age of 10 at the Atlas Boxing Club in Boksburg where I was coached by Blackie Swart. I later joined the Ermelo Boxing Club where I boxed with Mr. Wiggel, Johnny Collins, and Mr. Andre Smith as my coaches. In my boxing career, I have won a boxing match against a gold card champion and have only lost 2 fights.

Coaching: I started to coach boxing because a parent approached me to help his son that got bullied in school. The parent wanted his son to gain self-confidence as well as be able to defend himself. From there on more and more children came forth to learn how to box. This led to the start of a boxing academy, which then grew into a boxing club.

Passion: Love for children, love for the sport, and above all else God’s grace. My passion for this sport started when I realized, I can make a difference in people’s lives by helping them boost their self-confidence and giving them an outlet for every day’s frustrations.

Why I coach, I believe that boxing teaches one discipline, commitment, concentration, and control. There is nothing like boxing that tests one’s character and endurance. When I was asked to help coach alongside Lappies, I did not hesitate to say yes. Ermelo was a very big part of my boxing career, everything started here. The cold nights of running around the Sport Inn fields with bricks in your hands and on your head. The uphill running past the show grounds with army boots filled with led. The jogging in the freshly plowed cornfields to strengthen your legs, everything happened in Ermelo.

Now the goal is to pass on what I’ve learned over the years to both my son and the members of the gym.
