Q. Tell us about the first boxing match you watched.
A. I went live when I was like 13. I went to see Audley Harrison fight in Scotland. I wasn’t into boxing that much. I’d watched a little bit on TV, Lennox Lewisand guys like that. But then when it went live, I got hooked, straightaway. That was it. Since then I’ve watched everything from British level all the way to world level.
Q. That first fight, what was the venue like?
Boxing – Andy Murray v Daniel Rasilla – European Union
A. It was small. We actually walked into the venue and a guy who had just been knocked out was walking past us in the hallway. Then we just went and sat down. It was obviously a different crowd than you get at the tennis tournaments. It wasn’t, I mean, I wasn’t interested so much in that, it was just more the adrenaline rush you get from being that close to a live fight.
