Isaac Chamberlain on how he rescued himself from a life of crime to become a challenger for the British title.
On Saturday night, Isaac Chamberlain finally gets his shot at a British title. The Brixton cruiserweight is well aware how different his life could have been had it not been for boxing, though. Even at the age of 29, the violent scenes Chamberlain witnessed during his formative years are seared into his mind. He too found himself falling into a spiral of running with a gang and dealing drugs and admits that had it not been for boxing he may not have turned his life around.
'I followed him and ran as fast as I could because I know if I get caught, I'm finished. I dropped the stuff at his house and ran home as fast as I could. 'I cut ties straight away; I was like 'I'm not trying to go through that experience again'. They were trying to message me saying 'where you at?', but I was not answering the texts and eventually I was like 'I've got to just focus on boxing, man'.
