Boxing is a sport of commitment, focus, and literal blood, sweat, and tears. - my love for boxing grew as it provided me the outlet to clear my mind and challenge myself. 

Fighting was always an aspiration of mine but I struggled to find the right opportunity, and motivation to pursue this goal. HaymakersforHope allowed me to connect my aspirations to a greater goal of fighting for charity and fundraising towards finding a cure. 

I'm lucky to have the opportunity to showcase this commitment and investment by stepping into the ring in November. The next few months won't be easy-  fighting at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC in front of 2,000 people is an immense amount of pressure- but as they say.. "pressure makes diamonds".
