LONDON, Kompas.com – British boxer Ronnie Clark offers the IBF version of the European Championship belt via an auction site eBay find funds to buy a Christmas present for your child.

Clark needed money to accommodate Christmas after his battle plan against Sam Bowen for the British title race on December 15 was canceled due to an injury to the coast.

Clark, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, has never fought since he won the IBF version of the European super-featherweight champion after his victory over Zelfa Barrett in February. He needed money to buy Christmas gifts for his three children.

But Clark's plan later received a reaction from his fellow boxers. Boxer Tommy Coyle and the MTK management group have asked him to continue to hold his European Champion Belt.

"I posted an ad on eBay last night, then I received many messages from people wishing to buy my champion belt and then handed it as a Christmas present to my children," he said. Clark said.

"But I do not want that, I do not have the intention of selling the goods to get them back, if there is a buyer, he has to save them, I just do not want to Help from other people, "continued the boxer who recorded 21 wins for 27 battles

"Tommy Coyle promised to give me money if I wanted to keep the belt.It was very moving.MTKM even transferred money and will not accept anything from my share, "said Clark.

What Ronnie Clark has to face shows that the reality in the boxing world is not always a motto like Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Anthony Joshua. According to Clark, as he had not fought, he had threatened to lose thousands of pounds spent to prepare.

"You invest a lot in one thing, but you have nothing, and you do not have insurance that pays if the match is canceled," he said. "I have a debt that I have to pay."

"If you're going to a big party, you could get a lot of money, but that amount gives you 25% to management and 10% to the coach," Clark said.
