In this episode of The Voice of Boxing podcast, brought to you in

association with Lounges TV, we had the pleasure of hosting the

inspiring middleweight fighter, Denzel Bentley. Denzel shared his

journey from his early days of boxing on the estate with his brother to

becoming a professional fighter. He recounted his recent victory over

Danny Dignam, emphasizing the importance of that win in re-establishing

his position in the competitive middleweight division.

Denzel opened up about his unconventional path into boxing, starting

with impromptu fights organized by his entrepreneurial brother and later

transitioning to formal training after a humbling experience at a local

gym. He discussed his decision to drop out of university to pursue

boxing full-time, despite initial resistance from his parents. Over

time, his family has become supportive, with his mother now an avid

boxing fan and his father a nervous but proud supporter.

We delved into Denzel's training regimen, his influences like Floyd

Mayweather and Andre Ward, and his admiration for current fighters such

as Terence Crawford. Denzel also reflected on the challenges of

balancing personal life, particularly the stress of his son's premature

birth, with the demands of professional boxing.

Looking ahead, Denzel expressed his desire for a rematch with Nathan

Heaney and his ambition to fight top contenders like Chris Eubank Jr.

and Hamza Shiraz. He shared insights from his experience fighting at the

world level in Las Vegas and his determination to continue improving

and competing at the highest levels.

Overall, Denzel Bentley's story is one of resilience, dedication, and a

relentless pursuit of excellence in the boxing world. We look forward to

seeing his continued success and the exciting matches that lie ahead.

In this episode of "The Voice of Boxing," I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the most inspirational young fighters in Britain today, Michael Lukali, better known as Michael King. Michael's journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the UK is nothing short of extraordinary.

Michael shared his early life experiences in Congo, where he faced extreme poverty and had to start working at the age of eight to support his family. He recounted the emotional and physical challenges he endured, including being separated from his family when they moved to the UK and he was denied a visa. Left homeless at 14, Michael's faith and determination kept him going until he was finally reunited with his family in the UK at the age of 16.

Once in the UK, Michael faced new challenges, including learning English and supporting his family financially. He worked various low-paying jobs, including as a kitchen porter and at KFC, where he was eventually fired for eating too much of the food. It was during his time at KFC that Michael discovered boxing, inspired by the high-profile fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Despite having no prior experience in sports and initially being terrible at boxing, Michael's determination saw him through. He trained rigorously at All Stars Boxing Gym in West London, overcoming ridicule and physical pain to improve his skills. Michael went on to have 14 amateur fights, winning 10 of them, before deciding to pursue a professional career in boxing.

Michael's story is a testament to his resilience and unwavering spirit. From a challenging childhood in Congo to finding his passion for boxing in the UK, Michael King is a name to watch in the welterweight division. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration and a reminder of the power of perseverance.
