Steve Moxon talks to International Kickboxer about Mike Tyson, girlfriends and his most embarassing moment.
1. What would you be doing if you weren’t a fighter?
Still working all day doing cabinetmaking with dangerous tools.
2. Do you have any superstitions when fighting?
Surprisingly, no. It’s all about self-belief.
3. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve done during a promotion/fight night?
Right before my fight with Preacher, we had to get my girlfriend out of the crowd to come and help me go to the toilet. Just number-one’s thank god!
4. What is a surprising fact about you?
I’m missing the tip of my right index finger. Got it caught in an electric wood planer. Ouch!
5. How would someone close to you describe you?
I’m brutal in the ring, but a big softie out of the ring. [Laughs] Totally not true but my girlfriend thinks so!
6. What is one thing you are good at (apart from fighting)?
Cooking and playing table tennis.
7. Favourite fighter?
Mike Tyson. He was always the smaller fighter, but so explosive, powerful and dangerous
8. Dream girl?
My girlfriend Kellie Dean… oh, and Jennifer Aniston. Shhh.
9. Dream wheels?
Black Lamborghini Diablo.
10. Dream bout?
Zambidis, Drago, JWP.
11. What can’t you stand?
Being tickled.
12. Best fight memory?
After fighting in China Dec 2010, all fighters and trainers having a drink and laughing together in the hotel restaurant. Great memories.
13. Biggest/best break you ever got?
Represented Australia in the 2010 Enfusion Fight series. Filmed in Koh Samui, Thailand. I got to train and fight against some of the world's best. I experienced my first ever loss on the show but learnt so much.
14. In 10 years I’ll be...
Teaching kids kickboxing and have a kid or two of my own.
15. What piece of advice would you give to an up-and-coming fighter?
The fight is the easy part. Get to the gym day in and day out. Put in 100 per cent every session and surround yourself with positive people. It’s okay to make mistakes along the way.
