Couldn’t do it without you guys :)

Training for a fight ain’t easy in so many ways.

Countless hours of intense training puts a massive strain on your body both physically and mentally.

Having to change your diet and eat clean to help with refueling and weight cutting.

The fight itself constantly on your mind thinking every second of the day about gameplan and trying to keep mentally strong through the hard training sessions, where sometimes you think you will never make it to the end.

It’s all part of the game that people don’t get to see apart from the people who are around you all the time and it affects them to. I am beginning to see a change in my own personality everyday the closer it comes to the fight. All of the above points and many more all effect me menatlly. I have more of a short fuse and am always changing moods, from being happy and relaxed to grumpy and angry and even having those down days where nothing seems to go right and I just want to burst out in tears. It’s not a nice to be around me sometimes with having such a change in moods.

So I just want to give a big Thank you to the people around me and helping me through this time and putting up with me. I couldn’t do it without you and will be back to normal soon Thanks :)
