Phat Joe’s son is a star boxer!

It's not often that you reach a crossroads with your kids and realise that they can now discipline you, instead of the other way around. 

My 14-year-old son has taken to boxing and has so much dedication, like nothing I've ever seen. He's suddenly self-motivated and trains regularly, even going for nightly jogs and gym training. It has made all the pushing and prodding so worth it. But unbeknownst to me, he's also become a really good boxer.

This tournament was serious. I saw mothers losing it and nearly jumping into the ring to fight their kids' battles for them.
