ALG When did you start boxing and why ?

ALG Did you have a favorite boxer growing up ?
JK Yes I did, The great Muhammad Ali .
ALG Who is the best boxer out there today ?

ALG Did you play any other sports growing up ?
JK I played basketball , Taekwondo and table tennis.
ALG What are your career boxing highlights ?
JK My amateur highlights were boxing for London and competing in the London ABA finals. My other highlights are winning many semi pro titles and being featured on the DVD Unlicensed Boxing.
ALG I understand you were very self motivated and fought most of your career without a trainer. How did you do this ?
JK I guess I was determined so I watched other trainers coach their boxers and picked up the useful points. I made myself available for sparring sessions with other boxers and listened to the points that their trainers raised and watched a lot of fights on DVD and youtube. I’ve also trained regularly in Derreck Chisora’s camp when he is preparing for fights and sparred him and other boxers in the camp and learnt alot from them.
ALG What are your greatest strengths as a boxer ?
JK It’s the inner desire to achieve my goal that makes me so tough to finish. Defense I learnt from watching Muhammad Ali’s fights as he had a great defense. The good chin I get that as a gift from god.
ALG I watched your last few fights and saw you were robbed. Why do you think you were robbed in those decisions ?
JK Yes I was robbed and it is very frustrating and I think it has a lot to do with politics and boxing away. Against Julius Francis I think it was political because they wanted a re-match with they have got on the 27th April 2012.
ALG What changes are you making in the rematch with Julius Francis ?
JK Throwing punches in bunches with a lot more power.
ALG Julius Francis has fought the best heavyweights in the world including Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko and has won the UK Heavyweight title. What are his strengths ?
JK He has great evasive skills and a good defense.
AG How much longer do you want to keep boxing ? Is there more you want to accomplish in boxing ?
JK I think this is the end of my career, I’ve done enough and its time to pass the mantel over to the next generation.
ALG I understand you have your own personal training business and teach boxing. How would a prospective client or one of your fans reach you ?
JK I have a website which is www.box4fitness.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.box4fitness.com it has all my details and how to get in touch with me. I’m also based in LA Fitness, New Barnet.
