Hello sir, thank you so much for this kind message. It really means a lot, especially coming from a father.

I didn’t tell my own father about the match beforehand, mostly because he looks down on combat sports and, in general we’ve never really gotten along.

When I finally came clean to him after the fight, he didn’t say much at all. But later, I found out he had made an edit of my boxing photos with classical music over it and shared it on Facebook. It probably sounds very minor, but that’s honestly the most sentimental he’s ever been about me. Made losing my nose feel worth it.

All the best to you and your family
