Would you tell our readers a little bit of background information about yourself? Where are you from and where are you based now? Arthif Daniel: I was born and brought up in Harrow, North West London. I stayed in London growing up and went to Dental School at Kings College London. After the third year of dental school, I intercalated and completed a BSc in sports and exercise science before then returning to my dental studies and graduating with my Dr. David Bretton with Daniel BDS in 2008.

Around 2013, I I got to catch up with the man they call moved north to Manchester to progress both ‘Dr. Hitman’—Dr. Arthif Daniel. my dentistry and boxing. Boxer Amir Khan and his team are based in Bolton, close to Manchester, and they were helping me with my professional career. I was also starting my master’s in dental implantology with the Tipton Training team in Manchester, so everything fell into place. I’m now living in Manchester, where I am working as an associate at Westpoint Dental Care and also continuing my boxing. DB: How old were you when you started boxing, and what got you into it? AD: My dad was a very good amateur boxer and boxing was therefore very popular in our house. We were big fans of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Tommy ‘Hitman’ Hearns … and then there was also some great British boxers such as Prince Naseem Hamed, Nigel Daniel treats WBC heavyweight Benn and Chris Eubank. I started boxing champion myself when I was 8 years old, and just loved Deontay Wilder. it from starting.

I think the most impor- tant lesson I could share is the importance of making time. It is so important to set a schedule and stick to it. There is a huge difference between ‘making time’ and ‘finding time’. ‘Finding time’ doesn’t work; it just won’t happen. You must commit to making sure you make time for things and have the discipline to stick to your plan.

  • How I Got the Job at Adidas Combat Gear When I Initially Heard About Adidas Combat Sports USA, It Was Through My Friend Jeff
    How I Got The Job at Adidas Combat Gear When I initially heard about adidas Combat Sports USA, it was through my friend Jeff Chu, a local photographer and videographer. He had taken on a job as part of his freelance career and since I had recently been laid off from a magazine I was working for, decided to tag along. "It's all about the networking in this business," Jeff said. And it is. Because I tagged along, I met ACS President Scott Viscomi and five months later had a job as a blog editor of this website. Before Scott had taken on the task of creating some of the best gear in the combat sports industry, the adidas logo had entered the realm of jiu-jitsu competition when I was only a white belt years ago. Or at least that's the first time I had seen it. The gis that were created then were more cut for a judo competitor, with short sleeves and stiff material. It wasn't pliable, equipt to move along with a jiu-jitsu athlete while playing spider guard or butterfly guard, or passing guard and taking the back. Somewhere along the line, before I ever saw an adidas gi again, the design changed. It was in new hands. As I walked into Church Street Boxing in Lower Manhattan, it was a lot different from the jiu-jitsu academies I'd trained in for six years. In the middle of the main room was a raised boxing ring and all around it were walls covered in mirrors and old photographs and fight posters.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • Deontay Wilder Vs. Tyson Fury Ii Is As Big As It Gets
    DEONTAY WILDER VS. TYSON FURY II IS AS BIG AS IT GETS LAS VEGAS (February 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history. Literally. Standing 6’7″ and 6’9″ respectively, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bout “taller,” so to speak, took place in 2007, when the 7- foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today. To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 pounds, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fury, meanwhile, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight. These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6″ and weighs around 250 pounds. As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be.

    Joshua Uninspired in Points Win Over Parker FIGHT REPORT By Don Stradley nyone walking into the press conference after the Anthony Joshua –Joseph Parker bout in Cardiff, Wales would’ve been shocked by the mood of the room. It felt less like the aftermath of a heavyweight title contest, and more like a Abunch of grumpy men waiting their turn before a judge. Joshua, who won a unanimous 12-round decision, smiled a lot but wasn’t exactly elated. Parker, who looked slightly scuffed up around the left eye, could only shrug and say, “The bigger and bet- ter man won.” As for going 12 rounds for the first time in his pro career, Joshua said he felt good. More smiling and shrugging followed this. It was a shrug fest. y winning, Joshua added another alphabet title to his was focused.
