It was my birthday weekend just gone! Fun all the way. I always feel like I’m going to be a loner when celebrating but thankfully lots wished and came to see me celebrate another year passing in my life. So thanks to everyone who attended, Collection and the Whisky Mist team for making it special for moi. Good times.
Here it was in pictures…

My girlfriend Georgia Goodrick and some friends say I “take, take, take and not give”. Not true! I give back all the time. Like when I ran the 10K for Help a London Child or do random portraits for people because it is their birthday. I even gave endless hours at the All Stars Boxing Gym teaching people to box.

I haven’t been to the All Stars for almost two years but decided to pop in to say hello as I was around the area getting a Salt Fish Dumpling from DJ’s on Harrow Road. It was just like old times. The place was buzzing with the K.O Circuit people punching bags, skipping and of course Mr.Akay teaching the newbies their first lesson in boxing.
I paid my respects to the trainers and people that have been going there for years. Sitting there on the stage eating my dumpling, a woman asked Mr.Akay about buying an All Stars T-shirt. I said, “Mr.AKay, you can deal with the lady and I will go in the ring and do pads with people”. Before Mr.Akay knew it, I took his pads and was in the ring putting people through their paces.
My newly acquired skills in mittwork I have been working on didn’t go unnoticed as I could see from the corner of my eye that people were watching what I was doing. As Prince Naseem Hamed would say, “I’m not bragging or anything but I’m just too good”. Mr.Akay asked when I would come to the gym again, not sure if it was to teach or say hello but I’m gonna pop in Friday to do both!
A worthy cause I thought I should mention is YTFN. Run by Selin Taylor, YTFN hold events where people go to have fun and help make the world a better place at the same time.
The £10 entry doubles as a coupon used to donate to worthy causes. At the events you will find a cheap bar, live music, crafts, tasty treats and other surprises. YTFN invites three inspirational charities to tell guests at the event about their work and pitch projects that need funding. After listening about the different projects, there is a pledging session where guests choose which project to donate their £10 coupon to, donate more money or even volunteer time.
YTFN’s next event is on 21st July.
