What it Means to be a Boxer
Boxing is known to be a "lonely sport." There is usually only one winner out of the two. You get punched and injured either during a fight or training. These are no excuses for any boxer to quit from the sport. Being a boxer is not only about having discipline to train and learn, but it's about how much you struggle and can improve yourself after you've lost or taken a beating.
