Quick Fire Five with Antonio
When did you start boxing?
When I was 14 years old (10 years ago!)
What made you start boxing?
I was a troubled child, with no direction or passion in life. I suffered mental health issues and loved being alone. Boxing released a lot of stress and kept me out of trouble. It made me discipled and humble.
When was your first fight?
When I was 17, turning 18 years old. It was such a release! I felt euphoric - it’s a different world in the ring. When you get a hand raise – it’s a feeling of your capability, self-achievement and realising your true results. Fighting gives me self-belief and an amazing sense of achievement. I’ve since been involved in over 10 fights since.
Who is your trainer?
I have been trained with one of the most reputable boxing trainers – Paul Grech.
What’s your biggest win?
NSW State Title Fight of 2019
