Big news... I have a new boxing manager!!!
[Add my happy dance here, for sure!]
I usually don't go boxing on Tuesdays but one of my client's had switched days this week so I knew I'd be in the area so I brought my gear and went training. And it was a good thing I did too, a really good thing. I walked in and one of the owners of Team Insider Boxing Club asked me, "When is your next fight?"
A good question... a very good but a very frustrating question.
I responded by telling him I had four fights lined up but all four fights got cancelled. "It depends on when these female fighters stop cancelling", was my response to his question. And just like that, a conversation was sparked with him and one thing led to another... and I have a manager. He made some promises to me and talked very optimistically about getting me a fight and dealing with my boxing license, and I'd like to believe him but I'll believe it when I see it. Until then though, I'll stay optimistic and excited but not put too much hope or expectations into it. Having said that though, I know a female boxer he used to manage, before she moved to Australia, and she was very successfully managed by him so that's definitely a true testimony to what he's about and that surely puts weight to his name.
Next step is to step on the scale tomorrow to see how much I weigh and then start cutting weight.
I haven't step on a scale since my last opponent bailed on our fight so it's been months. My guess, I think I'm about 120lbs. I fight at 105lbs and 108lbs but I'm thinking for this next fight I'll drop down to 108lbs first and then line up a 105lbs fight.
