Idris Virgo: 'I was hit over the head with a wooden stick, so I needed to learn self-defence'

When and why you started boxing:
I started boxing when I was 15 years old. I was hit over the head with a wooden stick, so I needed to learn self-defence. I did kickboxing at first and then progressed to boxing.
Favourite all-time fighter:
Best fight you’ve seen:
The first fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin stands out for me. It was the best meeting the best.
Personal career highlight:
My highlight so far is my first fight with Hennessy Sports [in August last year]. I won with a sick body-shot KO [in the opening round against Josh Hodgins].
