im pretty sure benn was a champion at some level of kickboxing... also nazeem used to come down and have a knock about with us and was a big fan of authur o'loughlin naz loved the points ideas and aproach to landing shots at off balance angles and the no guard show boating we used to do was actualy a nice kid back in the day cant vouch for him now tho been over 15 years lots have changed,

but back on the subject great kickboxers should make a very easy transition into boxing however it is the most fixed sport be careful you will be used as a journey man to give some up coming fighter a punch bag seen it happen over and over if your face doesnt fit not got a prayer local to me is inlge, rhodes, and coldwel good trainers and promoters trust me the game is rigged to fuck... oh as always if your a ticket seller you will get easy fights if not train hard fight easy, the boxing society is a very cold place compared to warmth and comradery that there is in the martial arts world, but there is the bigger recognition i had my chance could have done it anytime but saw how others had been treated my good friends fred an martin from pro am yorkshire who are big figures in the aba's gave me good advice but hey its your sport your training if your passionate about your move keep your chin low and your spirits high and battle through.... oh and most importantly sell the tickets to get treated like you exist... lol

best of luck yours in sport meeeeeeeeeee!!!
