Some of my videos may have already been seen however I also include a detailed description of each fight and the important facts or information surrounding the fighters to try and build a better appreciation and understanding of the historical impact some of the these fights played in the world of boxing or a particular fighters career.
I became fascinated with boxing since watching my first fight in my Father's garage back in 2003, David Tua vs Hasim Rahman II. Since then I was hooked and started buying DVD's and VHS tapes of classic boxing matches while collecting biographies from all the great fighters. I've had the privilege of being ringside to watch some of New Zealand's most popular boxers, Shane Cameron, David Tua, Monte Betham, Robert Berridge, Sonny Bill Williams and Joseph Parker.
