'Boxing changed my life'

This is the assertion of boxer Vo Chi Tam (from Trang Bang ward, Tay Ninh province) when talking about the sport of boxing. For him, boxing has transformed him into a better, more disciplined, and technically skilled version of himself.

Boxing is not just a sport ; it's a lifestyle, where each person chooses their own way of facing challenges—either to fall or to rise stronger after each punch of life.

Boxer Vo Chi Tam said: “Boxing, also known as boxing, is a combat sport with basic techniques such as straight punch, hook punch, and uppercut. I've been boxing for 4 years. Since joining this sport, I've changed my lifestyle for the better. I no longer stay up late, eat haphazardly, or hang out with friends; instead, I go to bed early, wake up early, and have a disciplined diet and training schedule. As a result, my health has improved, my spirits are higher, and I've found a new direction in my life. Through this, I can both pursue my passion and earn an income from boxing.”

Vo Chi Tam in the ring and Vo Chi Tam outside are very different.

More than just powerful punches, boxing has become a "lifeline" for Mr. Tam, helping him find his career path and plan for the future. Boxing has lifted him from the darkness of despair into the light of discipline, passion, and fame. However, to stay committed to boxing, besides passion, Mr. Tam needs to have real willpower, determination, and a fighting spirit to defeat his opponents. This is the only way for him to affirm his value and brand.

Dung Nguyen and the journey of building DS Sport: The aspiration to make a Vietnamese mark in the field of sports.From a childhood injury, Nguyen Quoc Dung - the founder of DS Sport - has gradually dedicated himself to badminton, expanding into community activities and developing a sustainable, practical, and accessible sports ecosystem for Vietnamese players.

Mr. Tam shared: “Besides using a lot of force from the hands, boxing technique requires flexibility in movement and coordination of the whole body. Movement, dodging, and counter-attacking techniques are important elements when participating in boxing. In professional matches, victory comes from using accurate punches to vital points of the opponent. To prepare to step into the ring for a new match, I have to prepare very carefully from training to diet, rest, and physical fitness.”

However, my biggest challenge was my mindset before the competition. But once I stepped into the ring with the audience and my students cheering me on, my mindset stabilized immediately, and I used that as motivation and confidence to give my best. And for me, to be a good coach, you have to personally experience the difficulties, challenges, and psychological pressure that a fighter faces during a competition. Only then can you accumulate experience and guide your students accordingly.”

Sweat-drenched face, tense dodges, powerful punches, and the cheers of the crowd have created a completely different Vo Chi Tam, not as gentle as his smile and eyes suggest. Now, he is not only a professional boxer but also a skilled coach.

Mr. Tam added: “In the future, I want to have more professional boxing matches against opponents from around the world . Through that, I will accumulate experience to better train my students. In particular, I want to develop boxing in my hometown of Tay Ninh, helping young people improve their health while creating a healthy and beneficial recreational activity for many. What I hope to instill in my students is discipline, perseverance, good health, and an unwavering will to never give up!”
