    “Me and my brother were both abused by the same person. I was only five years old at the time. It’s not something I can really tell people about. I don’t want anyone looking down on me. Or treating me differently. I’m trying to be a professional boxer—it’s just not..."pic.twitter.com/JFqw8Q4Sxb

        I hope you both find the peace you deserve. It takes on average 25 years for a male to speak of his abuse. Look at you go! You’ve got this ❤️🙌🏻

        Some people just make others feel safe enough to talk about things they'd never tell most other people. I've seen it happen so often.

        I'm so, so sorry that you are your brother were both abused. No one should look down on you. You were five years old. The adult was WRONG. You are doing the right things by having goals and exercising. Hang in there.

        Man, I wish I could reach out to you, one on one. I'd listen to your story, and I'd have so much to say in response. You want to be a boxer, you want to be strong and win fights, but son, you ARE strong and you ARE winning the fight.

        💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 do people realise how much damage and trauma they inflict when they abuse kids?!? Or do they just don't care?!?! You alter the course of someone's whole life and it's not just something that they outgrow or snap out of!
