From being bullied, he now rings in boxers

Singapore

AS a kid, Scott O'Farrell was bullied a lot. In fact, there was one time as a 12-year-old, the half-Irish, red-haired, freckled-faced, bean-pole skinny youngster was beaten up so badly that he had to be bedridden.

His father Stewart had enough of such bullying tactics, that he took his son to the nearby gym at Nottingham and signed him up for martial arts classes.
