**During the coming months, we’ll be highlighting our fighters in training for the upcoming Rock ‘N Rumble X in Boston on October 13th. They’ve committed to four months of fundraising and training in preparation to get in the ring and literally fight for a cure. Whether their mom is battling, their father has passed or their friend has put up a victory against the disease – they’ve all got a story to tell and they’ve all got a reason to fight. Below you’ll hear from Anthony Lallis fighting out of TKO Boxfit.**

*Where are you from?*  
Quincy, MA

*Where did you go to college?*  
Emerson College

*Did you play any sports growing up?*  
Football

*What do you do for work?*  
Lallis and Higgins Insurance

*Why boxing? Did you ever picture yourself fighting?*  
Boxing is a sport that I always wanted to try - so why not give it a go at the ripe age of 43!

*Why on earth did you sign up to fight??*  
Boxing is a sport I've always been interested in, so this is the perfect opportunity to step in to the ring for a great cause. 

*You’re stepping in the ring to literally fight for a cure - where are you drawing your inspiration from? How has cancer affected you?  
My family and i battled Leukemia for five years when i was first diagnosed at the age of two years old. I seen and learned firsthand how much Cancer can effect not only the patient, but the family as whole. I draw my inspiration from those families that have a young son or daughter fighting Cancer everyday, and I'm raising funds to help assist those battling this terrible disease.*

*What is going to be the most difficult thing to give up during your training? (beer, cheeseburgers, time spent watching TV?)*  
The most difficult adjustment so far has to be given up late night snacks!

*When you’re not throwing punches and training -- what other hobbies/interests do you have?*  
I enjoy golfing and going on road trips with my son Tyler.

*Who do you think is the most excited to watch you get punched in the face come fight night?*  
My brother is hands down the most excited to see me step into the ring, and get punched in the face.
