The ex-military leader urged the boxer to remain focused and work harder in other to reap the benefits of his outputs.

“Get a grip of yourself. It’s always easy to let your guard down when you get to the top. As an award-winning fighter pilot, I never allowed it to get to my head. I always felt there was something to learn. That’s the way it has been to this day,” Rawlings advised.

“Avoid drinking, smoking and womanising and hold yourself well so you can reap the fruits of your labour,” he added.

“When the soul of this country wants to pick itself up, it manifests in sporting achievements, especially boxing,” he added.
