BEST MOMENTS
"I started delivering non-contact boxing in schools, engaging kids in positive paths and working with the police, youth offending, stuff like that, getting kids on the straight and narrow."
"I entered a competition last year, British Live Fire Cooking Championships, with no expectations at all. I made the final... it exploded from there."
"When people post this on social media, they all go, 'Oh, I’d love to be there.' They don’t realise what the outdoors can do for you and your mind."
