George Groves
British Athlete
My missus has had to put up with me boxing. I'll be able to spend some better time with them and not always have to put boxing first. So that's good for me. I'll enjoy that part of life.
Quote examples
Tony Bellew
British Athlete
My goal first and foremost when I walk into that boxing ring is to get home safe to my missus and three children, because they're all in life that need me, and they really do need me.
Quote examples
Harry Kane

It's harder to be angry at home when we lose. When it was just me and the missus, she didn't mind. She'd take the wrath of the loss! But it's harder when there's a little baby now.
Quote examples
Jordan Henderson
