Two local boxers win fights on Cougar Boxing card in Edmonton
Ahead of his first boxing match earlier this month, 13-year-old Danijel Ramac was understandably nervous.
He had only been working out at Four Corner Boxing and Fitness since September of 2017, first trying out the sport to lose some weight. But the young boxer wasn’t the only nervous one, or even the most nervous, according to Four Corner Boxing co-owner and head coach Dylin Clarke.
“I was more nervous than he was. The kid’s first fight and I’m just sitting there — I sweat watching them,” Clarke said. “I’m that nervous for them because once they’re in there, there’s nothing you can do. You’re just like, ‘I hope I taught them enough. I hope they’re going to do well.’ I just get super nervous beforehand every time.”
It turns out Clarke had done well preparing Ramac, as he won his first-ever bout by TKO in the first round.
