COACHING KIDS IN THE ART OF BOXING AND LIFE

ISSA was born into poverty in a Cameroon village. He ran wild as a teen until, unable to defend himself, he took a serious beating. Bad boy Issa was taken in hand by a boxing coach and there was no stopping him.

Bam, Bam, Bam he was crowned triple European welterweight champ.

Bam, Bam, Bam the ultimate crown, World Welterweight professional champion once, twice, thrice.

Tragedy struck, with the boxers’ nightmare – a detached retina KO’d him out of the ring.

BUT NOT OUT OF LIFE

Today at 29 ISSA HAMZA is devoting his life to  the creation of an Academy to work with boys and girls. And I was privileged to be at this morning’s session in PARIS 18.

A tough 2 hour workout for the kids, who learn to honour and obey coach ISSA, to respect each other AND ABOVE ALL themselves.

I am proud to join up with ISSA HAMZA, a world champion guy. Today in PARIS and soon in CAMEROON.

ISSA HAMZA HIS SPORT IS BOXING – HIS PASSION COACHING TOMORROW’S CHAMPS

IN AND OUT OF THE RING.
