As the rain and winds battered New Zealand, causing flooding and destruction, one gym in Henderson refused to let it stop their training. That gym is Peach Boxing, run by Isaac Peach, his wife Alina, and his brother Boaz. It all began in Isaac's backyard years ago, but has grown into a stable of fighters who are on their way to title fights.
Despite losing power for 8 days due to the recent natural disasters, Peach Boxing continued their training regimen. It was a "pain in the ass," according to Isaac, but they pushed through. One of his fighters, Mea Motu, a four-division New Zealand champion, will challenge for her first world title in Auckland in April. She fights out of the West Auckland stable and has an international opponent locked in to fight for the IBO super-bantamweight world title, according to promoter Dean Lonergan.
Isaac has high hopes for Mea and believes her talent is on par with any fighter, regardless of their home country. He emphasizes the importance of training and planning, which he takes care of while Mea sticks to the gameplan. Her focus is on herself, rather than her opponent, while Isaac takes care of the rest. Even if Mea wins the belt, Isaac won't be satisfied. He has another fighter, David Light, who will be fighting in Manchester for his first world title.
David Light will be fighting Lawrence Okolie, the WBO cruiserweight world champion, in March. According to Isaac, this fight is "legitimately huge," with a stadium seating 21,000 people. Despite the overwhelming audience and media coverage, Isaac believes it's just another fight and is confident in David's abilities. He believes that Lawrence is "dangerous but clumsy" and that David will expose him in the ring. Isaac isn't intimidated by Lawrence's celebrity connections, including his trainer SugarHill Steward, who trained Tyson Fury. Isaac doesn't have time for celebrity nonsense, he's coming for the title.
Preparation for the fight has been intense and thorough. The team has a new addition, Matt Mataika, who has offered good sparring for David. Additionally, they have had Junior Fa, a famous Kiwi star, as a sparring partner. Junior has been generous with his time, providing many rounds of sparring for the team. Elijah Mercury Leafa, a 6-foot-5 amateur, also joins the team, along with unbeaten Andrei Mikhailovich and Jerome Pampellone, who are David Light's stablemates.
Isaac acknowledges that Lawrence is a hard hitter and stands at 6-foot-5, but David isn't intimidated. They have already fought overseas twice and are ready for the challenge. Despite the media coverage and potential distractions, Isaac believes that David's humility and focus will help him perform at his best. He reminds everyone that Lawrence has everything to lose in this fight and that David is ready to take him down.
Isaac takes his role as a coach and protector of his fighters seriously. He won't tolerate anyone bad-mouthing David and is ready to handle any conflicts that may arise. He is confident that his fighters are prepared and motivated for the fight, despite the challenges they may face. With all of the intense training, sparring, and planning, Isaac is ready to watch his fighters succeed in the ring.
