David Wainwright talks to a retro gamer

Derek Osaze

When and why you started boxing: I was 15 when I started. It was a way to keep out of trouble, as I’d been excluded from school about 20 times by that point.

Favourite all-time fighter: Muhammad Ali was an example with the way he conducted himself both inside and outside the ring.

Best fight you’ve seen: Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman – The Rumble in the Jungle. I’ve watched it so many times.

Personal career highlight: Winning the Ultimate Boxxer middleweight tournament [in May]. Despite being an outsider I never once doubted myself.
