"Highly sought-after Stephen Smith to join forces with brother Callum in the ring!"
Immersed in the world of boxing since birth, Stephen Smith has a deep-rooted passion for the sport. As a sought-after trainer from Liverpool, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having been part of a boxing family with successful careers. With a record of 28-4 (15 KOs) as a professional, Smith now shares his expertise with fighters like Charlie Edwards, Ste Clarke, Liv Hussey, and Hamzah Uddin.
Reflecting on his transition to coaching, Smith shares, "I didn't realize the level of commitment coaching demands. While I thrive on staying busy, coaching presents a different kind of challenge. Fighters give their all in the gym, then rest, while as a coach, I'm constantly switching focus to train the next one without much time to switch off."
Discussing his work with Belfast's promising junior middleweight Caoimhin Agyarko, Smith mentions, "I started working with him on a one-to-one basis, offering a more personalized approach compared to his previous training setup in Sheffield. It's all about finding what works best for the fighter, and I respect his decision to explore different training environments."
Smith also sheds light on his collaboration with Michael, emphasizing the importance of consistent training even when the main coach, Buddy McGirt, is unavailable. He explains, "Michael needed to stay sharp, so we continued training together. When an opportunity for a fight arose on short notice, he was ready and willing to step in, showcasing his dedication to the sport."
In the dynamic world of boxing, Stephen Smith stands out not only as a skilled trainer but as a mentor who understands the unique needs and aspirations of each fighter he guides.
