Tell us your name, where you come from in the world and how long have you been boxing?

Tyson 'TIGGA" Maher from Australia (Brisbane).  Been boxing solid now for 2 years.

What brought you to the sport?

I always loved watching it. I played football and was too small for that so I thought I'd get into boxing to keep fit. Once I started putting punches together, I loved it.

What motivates you during training?

Haters!  People that don't believe in me. My goals push me harder as well and the will to be "number 1."

What goes through your mind in the ring?

Once I start feeling my opponent out,  I start to see his movements and then I can counter him.

Tell us what fighter from the past do you admire the most and why?

Definitely,  Mike Tyson. The atmosphere he used to bring to a boxing match was awesome and because he was just a beast.

Tell us what fighter do you admire today and why?

Floyd Mayweather is great. He has been number 1 for a long time and there's only one reason why - because he is best at what he does.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to box?

I think the best advice is believe in yourself and that your goals and dreams are reachable. If you dedicate yourself to do something and are willing to put in 110% there is nothing stopping you to reaching you goals. The only thing stopping you is YOU.

How do you feel about boxing's future?

I feel excited about boxing's future because if I keep grinding away and keep doing what I'm doing I will be in boxing's future headlines!
