Former boxing champion Ng Kuok Kun says life changed forever the moment his daughter was born, transforming him from a tough fighter into a tender father. This new chapter also helped change his perspective on the sport of boxing: he no longer sees it as purely a test of strength; now he views it as an opportunity to pass on his spirit to the next generation.
Ng, once known for his relentless power and precision in the ring, now finds joy in the simple moments of fatherhood. “The moment I held her for the first time, everything changed,” he shared. “It’s not just about physical power anymore; it’s about patience, love, and setting an example.”
Balancing his time between family and the sport he loves, Ng is eager to inspire young athletes. He plans to mentor aspiring boxers, emphasizing not just the physical aspects of the sport but also the importance of character and perseverance. “Boxing taught me discipline and resilience,” he said. “I want to pass that spirit on, not just to my child but to all who look up to me.”
Ng’s transition from champion boxer to devoted father highlights a journey of personal growth. His story resonates with many who find that life’s greatest victories often happen outside the spotlight. As he embraces this new role, Ng continues to embody the true essence of a champion—both in the ring and at home.
