Dad's Playful Dig
Danny Quartermaine, a 27-year-old super-featherweight boxer, needed four stitches after a brutal match but still faced a joke from his dad, who called him a 'p***y' despite the victory. Quartermaine was dropped in the opening round and left with a cut and swollen eye but managed to win by unanimous decision, moving to 12-0.
Fatherly Banter
After getting his battle wounds stitched up, Quartermaine's dad, a 1st battalion paratrooper, playfully reminded his son of his own tough past by teasing him with the word 'p***y'. Quartermaine shared that his dad's fighting mentality has always been a part of him, shaping his approach to the sport.
Family Values
Despite his dad's humorous comment, Quartermaine highlighted the importance of giving his all, never giving up, and fighting to win. He emphasized the influence of his father's background in martial arts and as a doorman, instilling a fighting spirit in him.
Not Like John Fury
Quartermaine expressed his gratitude for his dad's quiet and supportive nature, contrasting it with the attention-grabbing behavior of figures like John Fury. He praised his father's calm demeanor and focus on getting the job done without unnecessary drama.
Life Choices
Despite walking away from a job at Aston Martin to pursue boxing full-time, Quartermaine remains focused on creating a legacy in the sport. He aims to make a living out of boxing and hopes to change the lives of those around him through his success in the ring.
