Shanghai Fight Night is back! The havoc begins December 5 at Pudong Shangri-La with five bouts of amateur fighters and three matchups of professionals. We got the boxers out of the ring to answer a few questions. Here's what the fifth pair of white collar fighters had to say.
Craig "The Butcher" Northedge
Job: Teacher at NAIS Pudong
Nationality: British
Age: 35
Weight: 78kg
Height: 177cm
Favorite quote: "Is anyone gonna eat that piece of chicken?" －myself
Motivation for boxing: I like getting hit.
If you could fight anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? I would fight the Michelin Man because I hate his face.
Favorite boxer: Mike Tyson
Favorite boxing clip: Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick – His left hand knock down...Trevor gets jelly legs... Brilliant.
Benjamin "Dynamite" Dobbsy
Job: Programme Development Manager at Aqua Sports
Nationality: British
Age: 33
Weight: 78kg
Height: 180cm
Favorite quote: "Obstacles don't have to stop you." – Michael Jordan
Motivation for boxing: Boxing is a a great metaphor for life, and what motivates me to not only train, stay disciplined in the gym, but also in life.
If you could fight anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? It would have to be a fellow Brit, Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch. He has only just retired and is considered to be one of Britain’s best. An absolute warrior who was always in exciting fights.
Favorite boxer: Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch
Favorite boxing clip: My favourite clip has to be the warrior himself when Carl Froch destroyed Lucien Bute, when Bute was No.1 in the world in the super middle weight division. Great fight, great night for British Boxing.
