Brother,

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I want your honest opinion.

Back in June, I decided to start a journey that felt impossible—training to become a professional boxer at 29 years old, with zero experience. Not for glory or fame, but for something much bigger: raising awareness for men’s mental health.

Because let’s be real: too many men suffer in silence, bottling up pain, stress, and heartbreak. And I want to prove something—that no matter how impossible something feels, you can rise, fight, and push forward.

But 2 weeks after I started, I broke my hand. The dream got paused.

Now, I’m fully healed. I’m ready to get back on this path. And I want to ask you:

Should I go for it? Should I start this journey again?

I Need Your Honest Answer

I’ve created a quick poll because I want to hear what you think.

Your support and thoughts matter to me, because I’m not just doing this for myself. I’m doing this to inspire every man who feels stuck, broken, or hopeless to take action in his life—even when the odds feel stacked against him.

Stay strong,
