3 Things Boxing Teaches Us About Life

We all have our own fights to fight.

Watching the Anthony Joshua Vs Alexander Usyk fight I realized that boxing can teach us a lot about how to live our own lives.

Here are 3 quick thoughts

1. We must prepare for both the controllable and uncontrollable. A boxer can be fit and mentally ready for a fight, something they have full control over but they must also be prepared for their opponent, an uncontrollable. In life it’s important we do the same.
2. There is a pecking order, know your place and be as ambitious as you want to be. Not everyone can fight for a world title, you need to earn your stripes and learn your craft.
3. Everyone gets knocked down (or at least takes a few punches!), it’s how you respond or learn, that matters.
