Mick Shaw Q&A

Fighter profile of Kim Shaw by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans today I will pay a visit to Mick Shaw. Mick made his debut a while back, he completely dominated the fight and finished it in a minute and a half in the first round. But that's not even the most interesting thing about him. After the fight he released a story about why he wanted to be a fighter and that story was good enough to get published in the highly respected Tycoon Times. Mick, why did you decide to release this story?

Mick: I actually did go to a boxing gym to train at first, but I mostly worked on my condition there. It's really important to at least have a good base before you start training techniques, so that's what I did. While I was training there I made some new friends and started learning more about fighting in general. When I discovered MMA, I was hooked and I wanted to do it too.

Q:  After reading the story I couldn't help but wonder, what happened to the kid? Is he still a boxer?

Mick: He actually quit boxing professionally about a year after that fight. He's actually really smart, he's a lawyer now. He said that boxing gave him the confidence he needed to push through his studies and become a lawyer.

Q: So you've kept tabs on him?

Mick: I actually met him a while back when I went back home, he still occasionally comes to the boxing gym where I started my training.

Q: What are your goals for 2015?

Mick: I'd love to get signed to a good org where I can have fair fights while I continue my training.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing more of you in the future.
