What a week in the gym for the Wildthing!!! I was a very fortunate lady this week I got some good work in with Billy Hussein who has a really gentle personality but I learnt quickly not to let that fool you.

The Hussein brothers have become like my own brothers in the gym, they are very supportive, they push me hard and like all brothers would they stir me up heaps.

I wish I could hit all these buttons on the keyboard properly, if only you guys could see some of the words I am writing before I look up at the screen and hit spell check. Its a big part ofwhat Billy is trying to teach me right now and that is to SLOW DOWN and RELAX.

I remember when I was younger my grandparents used to tell me I made them dizzy because I couldn't sit still or slow down for 10 seconds!!!!!!

Anyway back to my week of training in Sydney I was blessed with Lovemore Ndou offering his time to spar with me on Thursday. I jumped at the pportunity TWICE. Let me tell you that man is fast, it was an amazing experience for me and I learnt a lot from him. Billy was coaching in my corner and Hussy Hussein was there giving me some very good advice. I done 8 x 3 minute rounds with Lovemore it was unreal. We met for sparring again Friday and by then I had learnt to relax a little and enjoyed the experience even more. Lovemore will be at my fight on October 1st for all you fan's that would like to catch up with him, he is going to hit the Coast a week early to help me with my preparation. Thank you Lovemore.

I returned to the Gold Coast Saturday 28.8 and hit the gym with my partner Stephen Boyce for a grueling 10 rounds of sparring. Now after a week apart and sending romantic messages and sweet phone calls, if you were watching our session you would have asked the same thing we did...."Didn't they say they missed each other" Steve is as dedicated to me winning my World Title as I am and that is very special. I will be back to tell you how much damage I do to him over the next few days...Giggle Giggle

Before I go CONGRATULATIONS to Skinny Hussein who had a TKO victory on Friday night at Penrith over a very awkward fighter from Thailand. Skinny kept his composure well and fought great against a man that had no sportsmanship and tried a few dirty tricks.

GOOD LUCK Vic Darchinyan (who both Steve and I spared a couple of weeks ago) from Team Fenech with your World Title Bout on Sept 3rd in the USA. We all wish you the best and look forward to seeing you bring that belt back to OZ. Vic is a very small guy with some very big power.

Take care out there
