I took on the challenge to raise money for our local youth club. The idea was that I’d compete in a boxing match in front of 800 people at the end of eight weeks. At first, I thought it’d be easy, but after a week or two, I realised I was wrong. I had to train three times a week and change my diet. I’d never done anything like this before, and it was much harder than it looked. There were times when I definitely felt like giving up. But then I remembered why I was doing it and that motivated me to keep going. Even if I failed, I wanted to know that I’d tried my best. So, I just trained as hard as I could, and tried to overcome the doubts.

Finally, the night of the boxing match arrived. My parents and my brother were watching, along with 800 people. I was so nervous before the match, but as soon as I got into the ring, I was excited. I felt confident. I’d worked hard and I wanted to show everyone what I could do. I boxed well and won both my matches. And the best part was I raised £500 for charity. I was really very proud of myself!
