British Star Shares His Inspiring Journey After Shifting Tennis Dreams to Boxing Glory
Jordan Thompson, the boxing king, is on the verge of making it to the list of world champions. His path to success was bumpy, even though he came from a family of fighters and never pictured himself in that role. Initially interested in tennis, he eventually became a boxer and shared the inspiring story behind his switch.
Thompson was an aspiring tennis player
In an interview with BBC, Thompson recounted his tennis days and mentioned that he ranked among the top 10 candidates nationally in the under-16s and under-18s. But because of insufficient funding, his dreams of playing tennis were shattered.
He couldn’t gather the required funding
Moreover, he mentioned that he loved the travel associated with tennis, but his profession demanded a significant sponsorship that he couldn't afford, causing him to abandon his aspirations.
He discovered a ray of hope
His shattered dreams left him devastated. However, while in the gym, he discovered that he had an in-built potential in fighting, which landed him in the boxing arena. He said, “Boxing just happened to find me, rather than me finding boxing.”
