Our boxer this week is our heavyweight champ..Joshua Ross!!
Having an interest in competitive fighting, especially boxing, when his brother decided to join, he though he would give it a try as well. And once he started training the love of boxing, his love of boxing only increased.
Josh was always interested in sports, but prefers boxing because it's more of a solo sport were everything is up to him, unlike when he played basketball where you had to rely on teammates, in boxing "if I mess up it's on myself, no one else".
The New Waterford Club is the only club he though of joining, he hasn't seen a club or any sports with a team of coaches as dedicated in his life, and every single athlete in the club is as friendly and welcoming as can be. He considers the New Waterford Boxing Club the best club in the province!
Joshua's advice for anyone looking to try boxing is to start training as soon as you can, it doesn't matter how big or small you are, or how in shape you are, everyone has to start somewhere. His only regret is not starting sooner in his life.
Although boxing is important and one of the main things he does for fun, he also likes to work out on his own and hang with friends. And when we are at competitions with other boxers, Josh can be heard coaching from his seat, always ready to help out his teammates.
With an impressive 10 wins - 4 loss record, Josh is currently training for Olympic trials that are coming up, as one of his goals is to win gold at the 2020 Olympics, with a future plan of going pro and becoming a world heavyweight champion!!!
Watch out for Josh Ross in our upcoming fight card, as he will be the main event of the night!!
