He said: "In a boxing team we are like a family, so we all support each other to try and get to those goals. 

"Boxing is a very brutal sport and it has its ups and downs, and it is a lonely sport some people will see but not really in the Army boxing team. 

"We are all going through the same stuff together and yes, it is the same journey we go through together.

"It's just amazing facilities and opportunities, it is a great place to be especially if you want to get to the top, the Army will help you."
