During the Second World War, my uncle told me, he was a boxer in the army. Then he showed me his old boxing gloves and put the big gloves on my small hands. During the next hour my uncle tried to teach me the basics of boxing. He taught me the proper way to move and how I could guard myself from blows to my head and body. Then he showed me the correct way to punch. When we left my uncle’s house that evening, I was the proud owner of a pair of very large boxing gloves.
