Imbethi manqindi ndiyifumene ngexesha endandiyifuna kakhulu. Ndandineminyaka eli-15 ubudala ukuqala kwam ukungena eringini; ngeloxesha, yayingathi ubomi bandibethile qha. Umsindo nokudandatheka kuyanditya, kodwa bendisokola ukukuveza. Ndikhulele kwidolophu encinci, iyure engaphandle kweMontreal, ndikhuliswe ngumama ongenaqabane. Sasingenamali kwaphela ukuze siphile, kwaye kwafuneka ndifumane umsebenzi ndisemncinci kakhulu ukunceda ukuziphilisa. Isikolo yayiyeyona nto ibalulekileyo kum kuba ndandingenalo ixesha—yaye njengoko ndandikhula, kwaba nzima ngakumbi ukuba ndisiqhube. Kodwa mhlawumbi eyona pilisi kwakunzima ukuyiginya yayikukuzama kukamama ukukhotyokiswa butywala. Kundibulele ukwazi ukuba ubumuncu isithukuthezi ngebhotile. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuba ndenza ntoni na, ndandibonakala ndingancedi.

Ukuphuma endlwini kunye nokukhuthala bekusoloko kuyindlela yonyango kum. Ndandibaleka amazwe, ndikhwele amahashe, ndide ndidlale ne taekwondo. Kodwa ingcamango yamanqindi ayizange ithi qatha de ndabukela Isigidi seedola Baby. Lo mboniso bhanyabhanya wasusa into ethile ngaphakathi kum. Ndachukunyiswa bubugorha obumangalisayo kunye nokuzithemba okufunekayo ukuze ndikwazi ukujongana nomntu okhuphisana naye eringini. Emva koko, ndaqalisa ukulwa kumabonwakude ndaza ndawuthanda kakhulu umdlalo. Kwafika kwinqanaba apho ndaziyo ukuba kufuneka ndizame.

Ukuqala umsebenzi wam wamanqindi

Ndawuthanda umdlalo wamanqindi ukuqala kwam ukuwuzama. Ndithathe isifundo kwindawo yokuzivocavoca yasekuhlaleni kwaye kwangoko emva koko, ndaya kumqeqeshi, ndanyanzelisa ukuba andiqeqeshe. Ndamxelela ukuba ndifuna ukukhuphisana nokuba yintshatsheli. Ndandineminyaka eli-15 ubudala kwaye ndandisandula ukukhupha okokuqala ebomini bam, ke ayothusi into yokuba angandithathanga. Ucebise ukuba ndifunde ngakumbi malunga nomdlalo kangangeenyanga ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuthatha isigqibo sokuba umdlalo wamanqindi ngowam na. Kodwa ndandisazi nokuba kwenzeka ntoni, ndandingazukuyitshintsha ingqondo yam. (Idibeneyo: Kutheni ufuna ukuqala iBoxing ASAP)

Kwiinyanga ezisibhozo kamva, ndaba yintshatsheli yaseQuebec, kwaye umsebenzi wam wanyuka ngokukhawuleza emva koko. Xa ndandineminyaka eli-18 ubudala, ndaba yintshatsheli ndaza ndafumana iwonga kwiqela lesizwe laseKhanada. Ndalimela ilizwe lam njengembethi-manqindi engahlawulwayo kangangeminyaka esixhenxe, ndihambahamba kwihlabathi liphela. Ndangenela umlo kumlo wama-85 kwihlabathi liphela, kuquka iBrazil, iTunisia, iTurkey, iTshayina, iVenezuela, neUnited States. Ngo-2012, amanqindi amanenekazi aba ngumdlalo weOlimpiki, ke ndaye ndajolisa kuqeqesho lwam.

Kodwa bekukho into yokubambisa ukukhuphisana kwinqanaba le-Olimpiki: Nangona kukho iindidi ezili-10 zobunzima kumdlalo wamanqindi wabasetyhini abasafundayo, umdlalo wamanqindi we-Olimpiki wabasetyhini uthintelwe kwiiklasi zobunzima ezintathu kuphela. Kwaye, ngelo xesha, eyam yayingenguye omnye wabo.

Ngaphandle kokuphoxeka, umsebenzi wam wamanqindi wawuzinzile. Okwangoku, ikhona into eyayiqhubeka indikhathaza: inyani yokuba ndiphumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo. Bendisazi ukuba nangona bendiwuthanda umdlalo wamanqindi ngentliziyo yam yonke, awuzukuhlala ukhona ngonaphakade. Ndingafumana ukonzakala okuphelisa amakhondo nangaliphi na ixesha, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ndiya kuba mdala kwezemidlalo. Bendifuna iplani yokugcina. Ke, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibeke phambili imfundo yam.

Ukuba nguMongikazi

Emva kokuba iOlimpiki ingakhange iphume, ndithathe ikhefu kumdlalo wamanqindi ndaphonononga ezinye iindlela zamakhondo omsebenzi. Ndahlala kwisikolo sabongikazi; Umama wayengumongikazi kwaye, njengomntwana, bendihlala ndimakisha kunye naye ukunceda ekunyamekeleni abaguli abadala abane-dementia kunye ne-Alzheimer's. Ndikonwabele ukunceda abantu kakhulu kangangokuba bendisazi ukuba ngumongikazi iyakuba yinto endinokuyithanda.

Ngo-2013, ndathatha ikhefu elingangonyaka kumdlalo wamanqindi ukuze ndigxile esikolweni ndaza ndaphumelela isidanga sam sobongikazi ngo-2014. Kungekudala, ndafumana amanqaku eeveki ezintandathu kwisibhedlele sasekuhlaleni, ndisebenza kwiwadi yababelekayo. Ekugqibeleni, loo nto yajika yaba ngumsebenzi wokonga osisigxina—ekuqaleni, ndandiwulungelelanisa umdlalo wamanqindi.

Ukuba ngumongikazi kwandivuyisa gqitha, kodwa kwakulucelomngeni ukudlala amanqindi nomsebenzi wam. Uninzi loqeqesho lwam lwaluseMontreal, iyure enye ukusuka apho ndihlala khona. Kwafuneka ndivuke ekuseni kakhulu, ndiqhube ukuya kwiseshoni yam manqindi, ndiqeqeshe iiyure ezintathu, kwaye ndiyibuyise ngexesha lokutshintsha kwam, okwaqala ngentsimbi yesi-4. yaphela ezinzulwini zobusuku.

Ndayigcina le nto iminyaka emihlanu. Ndandisahlala kwiqela lesizwe, kwaye xa ndingazange ndilwe apho, ndandilungiselela iiOlimpiki zika-2016. Abaqeqeshi bam kwaye besibambelele kwithemba lokuba ngeli xesha, iMidlalo iya kwahluka ngokobunzima bayo. Noko ke, saphoxeka kwakhona. Kwiminyaka engama-25 ubudala, ndandisazi ukuba lixesha lokuba ndiyeke iphupha lam leOlimpiki ndize ndiqhubeke. Ndenze konke endinako kwibhokisi yamanqindi engahlawulwayo. Ke, kwi2017, ndityikitya ngeLiso loLawulo lweTiger kwaye ngokusesikweni ndaba yimbethi manqindi eqeqeshiweyo.

Kuphela kusemva kokuba ndihambile apho ukugcina umsebenzi wam wokonga kwaba nzima ngakumbi. Njengomdlali wamanqindi obalaseleyo, kwafuneka ndizilolonge ixesha elide nangakumbi, kodwa ndandisokola ukufumana ixesha namandla endandiwadinga ukuze ndiqhubeke ndizilolonga njengembaleki.

Ekupheleni kuka-2018, ndincokole nzima nabaqeqeshi bam, besithi ukuba ndifuna ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wam wamanqindi kufuneka ndishiye ngasemva ubunesi. (Eyeleleneyo: Indlela eyothusayo yeBhokisi enokutshintsha uBomi bakho)

Nangona kwakubuhlungu kum ukunqumama kumsebenzi wam wobunesi, iphupha lam lalisoloko likukuba yintshatsheli yamanqindi. Okwangoku, bendilwile ngaphezulu kweshumi leminyaka, kwaye ukusukela oko ndaya kwiprojekhthi, andizange ndoyiswe. Ukuba ndandifuna ukuqhubeka nokuphumelela kwam ndize ndibe ngoyena mlweli ubalaseleyo kangangoko ndandinako, ukonga kwakufuneka ndithabathe isihlalo esingemva—ubuncinane okwexeshana. Ke, ngo-Agasti 2019, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndithathe unyaka wesabatha kwaye ndigxile ngokupheleleyo ekubeni ngoyena mpi mkhosi ndibalaseleyo.

I-COVID-19 iyitshintshe njani yonke into?

Ukunikezela ngonesi kwakunzima, kodwa ndakhawuleza ndabona ukuba lukhetho olufanelekileyo; Ndandingenalo ixesha lokudlala namanqindi kuphela. Ndandilele ngakumbi, ndisitya ngcono, kwaye ndaziqeqesha nzima ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Ndivune iziqhamo zemizamo yam xa ndaphumelela iNorth American Boxing Federation female light flyweight intshinga ngoDisemba 2019 emva kokungoyiswanga imilo eli-11. Yiyo le. Ekugqibeleni ndandiwufumene umlo wam wokuqala ophambili kwiCasino yaseMontreal, eyayicwangciselwe umhla wama-21 kuMatshi ka-2020.

Ukuya kowona mlo mkhulu ebomini bam, ndandifuna ukushiya nantoni na. Kwiinyanga nje ezintathu, bendizokukhusela isihloko sam se-WBC-NABF, kwaye bendisazi ukuba umdlali wam unamava kakhulu. Ukuba bendinokuphumelela, bendiya kugqalwa kumazwe ngamazwe—into ebendiyisebenzele kubomi bam bonke.

Ukuze ndongezelele uqeqesho lwam, ndaqesha iqabane lam elalisuka eMexico. Wayehlala kunye nam kwaye wayesebenza nam yonke imihla kangangeeyure zokundinceda ukuba ndenze izakhono zam ezifanelekileyo. Njengoko umhla wam wokulwa wawusondele, ndaziva ndomelele kwaye ndithembele ngakumbi kunangaphambili.

Emva koko, i-COVID yenzekile. Umlo wam urhoxisiwe kwiintsuku nje ezili-10 ngaphambi komhla, kwaye ndaziva onke amaphupha am etyibilika eminweni yam. Ndithe ndakuva ezondaba zehla iinyembezi kum. Ubomi bam bonke, ndandisebenze ukufikelela kweli nqanaba, kwaye ngoku kwaphela ngokuqhekeka komnwe. Kwaye, ngokunikwa konke ukungacaci okujikeleze i-COVID-19, ngubani owayesazi ukuba ndingaze ndilwe kwakhona.

Kangangeentsuku ezimbini, ndandingakwazi ukuphakama ebhedini. Inyembezi bezingayeki tu, bendimane ndisiva ngathi kuthathwe yonke into kum. Kodwa ke, intsholongwane ngokwenene yaqala ukuqhubela phambili, yenza iintloko ezikhohlo nasekunene. Abantu babesweleka kumawaka, kwaye apho ndandizisizela ndizisizela. Ndandingazange ndibe ngumntu wokuhlala ndingenzi nto, ngoko ndandisazi ukuba kufuneka ndenze okuthile ukuze ndincede. Ukuba ndandingakwazi ukulwa eringini, ndandiza kulwa kwi-frontlines. (Eyeleleneyo: Kutheni le nto lo Mongikazi-uJikiweyo-iModeli wazimanya noMda oPhambili we-COVID-19 Pandemic)

Ukuba ndandingakwazi ukulwa eringini, ndandiza kulwa kumgca ongaphambili.

Ukusebenza kwiiNdawo eziPhambili

Ngomso olandelayo, ndathumela i-resume yam kwizibhedlele zalapha, kurhulumente, naphina apho abantu bafuna khona uncedo. Kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa, umnxeba wam waqala ukukhala ngokungapheliyo. Bendingazi kangako nge-COVID-19, kodwa bendisazi ukuba ichaphazela abantu abadala kakhulu. Ngoko ke, ndagqiba ekubeni ndithabathe indima yokuba ngumongikazi obambeleyo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokunyamekela abantu abadala.

Ndiqale umsebenzi wam omtsha nge-21 ka-Matshi, kwangolo suku ndandilwelwe ukuba ulwe ngalo.Yayifanelekile kuba xa ndangena kwezo ngcango, kwakungathi yindawo yemfazwe. Ukuqala, andizange ndisebenze nabantu abadala ngaphambili; ukhathalelo lokuya kubeleka yayingamandla am. Ke, kundithathe iintsuku ezimbalwa ukuba ndifunde ukungena nokuphuma kokukhathalela abaguli abadala. Ngapha koko, iiprotokholi zazingcolile. Sasingazi ukuba kuza kwenzeka ntoni ngengomso, yaye kwakungekho ndlela yakunyanga le ntsholongwane. Isiphithiphithi kunye nokungaqiniseki kubangele imeko yexhala phakathi kwabasebenzi bezempilo kunye nezigulana.

Kodwa ukuba kukho nantoni na endiyifundiswe ngumdlalo wamanqindi, yayikukuqhelanisa—nto leyo kanye endayenzayo. Kwiringi, xa ndijonga imeko yelinye iqela, bendiyazi indlela yokuyilindela intshukumo yakhe elandelayo. Kwakhona ndandiyazi indlela yokuzola kwimeko exakekileyo, yaye ukulwa nale ntsholongwane kwakungeyondlela ithile.

Oko kwathethi, nkqu nabantu abomeleleyo abakwazanga ukuwuthintela umthwalo wokusebenza ngaphambili. Yonke imihla, inani lokufa lenyuka kakhulu. Inyanga yokuqala, ngakumbi, yayimbi. Ngexesha lokungena kwezigulana, kwakungekho nto sasinokuyenza ngaphandle kokwenza ukuba zikhululeke. Ndisukile ekubambeni isandla somntu omnye ndaza ndalinda ukuba badlule ngaphambi kokuba baqhubeke kwaye ndenze okufanayo nakomnye umntu. (Eyeleleneyo: Uhlangabezana njani noxinzelelo lwe-COVID-19 xa ungahlali ekhaya)

Ukuba ikhona into endiyifundileyo kumdlalo wamanqindi, ibikukuziqhelanisa-yiyo kanye into endiyenzileyo.

Kwaye, kuba bendisebenza kwindawo yokunyamekela abantu abadala, phantse wonke umntu ongena yedwa. Abanye babechithe iinyanga okanye iminyaka bekwikhaya lokugcina abantu abalupheleyo; Kwiimeko ezininzi, amalungu osapho abalahlile. Ndandihlala ndizithathela kum ukubenza bazive bengamalolo. Wonke umzuzu wokuphumla ebendi nawo, bendingena emagumbini abo ndibeke iTV kwisitishi sabo abasithandayo. Maxa wambi ndandibadlalela umculo ndize ndibabuze ngobomi babo, abantwana nentsapho yabo. Ngesinye isihlandlo isigulana sika-Alzheimer sandincumela, kwaye sandenza ndabona ukuba ezi zenzo zibonakala zincinci zenza umahluko omkhulu.

Kwafika inqaku xa ndikhonza uninzi lwezigulana ezingama-30 ze-coronavirus ngotshintsho olunye, kungabikho naliphi na ixesha lokutya, ukuhlamba, okanye ukulala. Ukugoduka kwam, ndakrazula izixhobo zam (ezingakhululekanga kangako) kwaye ngoko nangoko ndangena ebhedini, ngethemba lokuphumla. Kodwa ukulala kwandiphepha. Khange ndiyeke ukucinga ngezigulana zam. Ke, ndiqeqeshiwe. (Idibeneyo: Eyona nto iyiyo ukuba nguMsebenzi oBalulekileyo eMelika Ngexesha lesifo seCoronavirus)

Ngaphezulu kweeveki ezili-11 ndisebenza njengomongikazi we-COVID-19, ndaziqeqesha iyure ngosuku, kahlanu ukuya kwesithandathu ngeveki. Kuba iijingi bezisavaliwe, bendizakubaleka ndize ibhokisi yethunzi-ngenxalenye yokuhlala ndimile, kodwa nangenxa yokuba ibinyanga. Yayiyindawo endandiyidinga ukukhupha ukukhathazeka kwam, kwaye ngaphandle kwayo, ngekunzima ukuba ndihlale ndiphilile.

Ukujonga Phambili

Kwiiveki ezimbini zokugqibela zeshifu yam yokonga, ndabona izinto ziphucuka kakhulu. Oogxa bam babekhululeke ngakumbi kwiiprothokholi kuba sasifundiswe ngakumbi ngentsholongwane. Kutshintsho lwam lokugqibela ngoJuni 1, ndiye ndabona ukuba zonke izigulana zam ezigulayo ziye zavavanya ukuba azikho, nto leyo endenze ndaziva ndonwabile ngokushiya. Ndaziva ngathi ndiyenzile eyam indima kwaye bekungasafuneki.

Ngosuku olulandelayo, abaqeqeshi bam beza kum, bendazisa ukuba ndicwangciselwe umlo ngoJulayi 21 eMGM Grand eLas Vegas. Kwakulixesha lokuba ndibuyele kuqeqesho. Okwangoku, nangona bendihlala ndikwimeko entle, andikhange ndiqeqeshwe ngamandla ukusukela ngoMatshi, ke bendisazi ukuba kufuneka ndiphinde kabini. Ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndihlale yedwa nabaqeqeshi bam ezintabeni-kwaye kuba sasingekakwazi ukuya kwindawo yokuzivocavoca yokwenyani, kwafuneka siyile. Abaqeqeshi bam bandakhela inkampu yoqeqesho yangaphandle, igcwele ngengxowa yokuhluza, ibar yokutsala, iintsimbi, kunye nendawo yokubeka. Ngaphandle kokungakhathali, ndaluthatha lonke uqeqesho lwam ngaphandle. Ndakhwela iphenyane, ukukhwela inqanawa, ndibaleka ndinyuka iintaba, yaye ndandide ndigwebe namatye ukuze ndisebenze ngamandla am. Amava onke ayene-vibes enzulu ye-Rocky Balboa. (Idibeneyo: Le Pro Climber yatshintsha iGaraji yakhe yaba yiGym yokuKhwela ukuze aqeqeshe ukuvalelwa yedwa)

Nangona ndinqwenela ukuba bendinexesha elingakumbi lokuzinikezela kuqeqesho lwam, ndaziva ndomelele ukuya kumlo wam kwiMGM Grand. Ndimoyisile umchasi wam, ndakhusela ngempumelelo iwonga lam leWBC-NABF. Kwakumangalisa ukubuyela eringini.

Kodwa ngoku, andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiya kulifumana nini ithuba kwakhona. Ndinethemba eliphezulu lokuba nomnye umlo ekupheleni kwe-2020, kodwa akukho ndlela yokwazi ngokuqinisekileyo. Okwangoku, ndizakuqhubeka nokuqeqesha kwaye ndizilungiselele njengoko ndinokuba kuko kuyo nantoni na elandelayo.

Ngokubhekisele kwezinye iimbaleki ekuye kwafuneka zinqumamise amakhondo omsebenzi, abanokuziva ngathi iminyaka yabo yokusebenza nzima ibingento yanto, ndifuna ukuba wazi ukuba ukudana kwakho kuyasebenza. Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, kuya kufuneka ufumane indlela yokubulela impilo yakho, ukhumbule ukuba la mava aya kwakha kuphela isimilo, enze ingqondo yakho yomelele, kwaye akunyanzele ukuba uqhubeke nokusebenza ukuze ube ngowona uphambili. Ubomi buya kuqhubeka, kwaye siya kukhuphisana kwakhona-kuba akukho nto irhoxisiwe ngokwenene, kuphela ukuhlehliswa.

Uphengululo lwe
