Black Skinny losing his champion title was wrong.
It was just so wrong but we plan on getting it back. Phones are ringing already with word of a revenge fight on the table. However, with Black Skinny wanting to take a little break, it's not going to be him fighting for it but none other than my Snickers.
Snickers getting scheduled a revenge fight for the Korean Middle Weight Champion title?! Possibly. We've yet to hear back from KBC so keep your fingers crossed.
Honestly, this couldn't have come at a better time, not Black Skinny losing but Snickers being proposed for a fight that is. On Saturday evening Snickers and I sat down for a serious talk about his boxing and his dream to become a world champion. His dream is still very much alive and well but with KBC not scheduling him fights the steps and fights he needs to put under his belt just aren't happening.
We came up with a due date. June 15th is our due date.
If KBC doesn't schedule Snickers a fight in the next two months than Snickers is going to pack his bags and leave Korea. Distination... not sure but it's looking like either the Philippines or Japan, both of which we've got boxing connections and contacts in. After Black Skinny's fight on Saturday, I took Snickers aside and swore to him that I'd do anything and everything possible to fully support him, his boxing and his dream of making it big with boxing. So if sending him to another country for a few months or more to train and get those fights under his belt is what it means than so be it.
Initially, our plan for this year was to save up a sick amount of money. However, we quickly became so busy focusing on the financial prep needed for our future that we lost track of other things that are equally important for the future -- the now.
If Snickers wants to become a world champion boxer than the now is just as important if not MORE important to his future than what he does in a year from now. Today is the stepping stone for tomorrow and this revenge fight is a step in the right direction.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Where did we lose the now?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
-- Ben Stein
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Hi Amy,
Smart move! I think that is what went wrong with Sung Hyun and I. We got so caught up in saving money for Canada that we forgot about what was important (or I forgot what was important). So what we had an extra X number of dollars in our bank account. In the end that is the stuff that doesn't matter.
So do you have a date set for Canada?
Hi Jennifer,
No date set for Canada but we did for awhile there have a dollar figure goal set.
