About last night... I planned for victory, but God planned differently. In my prayers every night I would say, “God, if you grant me this win, I will use it for good. It will allow the kids watching to be open to what I have to say and help me motivate and inspire them through my words and life story. I will not use the win to feed my ego and greed. And I will not forget about you when things get good. But if you don’t give me the win, I also understand. I will trust your plan and wait to see what the lesson behind the loss is. And I will not forget about you, when things get tough.” After the fight, I put my head down in prayer, thanked God, and said, “I trust you. I thank you. I will not forget about you.”
Would the win have been nice? Absolutely. Just like every other time something big was meant to happen in my life. A loss may not have been what I wanted, but may actually be what I needed. Who knows why. I sure as hell don’t. But I trust the process and trust that God will show me exactly why everything was meant to happen. There have been COUNTLESS times in my life where I felt my life was OVER, and sure enough I am reminded that it’s not even close.
With 3 months total experience it goes without saying, I’m not the best boxer. But to me, fighting is more than just knowing how to throw a punch. It’s about getting back up when you’re meant to stay down. Getting hit over and over but refusing to stop moving forward. You can hurt me physically all you want, but you can never take away my will and spirit to succeed.
I thank everyone who believed in me. I will not say sorry because I tried my best with what I could. I got back in the ring after a traumatizing first experience and gave it all I got. I am not defined by this loss. I am defined by how I carry myself after. And I hope to use this as an opportunity to inspire, motivate, learn and grow. I love you all. And if you take anything from this. Please. Don’t ever give up. Congratulations Deji. You earned this. 🐺
