Traveling helps you grow and mature. If you also manage to cultivate your passion, it won’t be difficult to feel the emotion of having made the right choice. Gabriele Bellandi has just returned from a camp, which he held at Team Hodbox in London, and exciting memories crowd into his 15-year-old mind. «They were four beautiful days – he says – and very intense. The English are among the strongest in Europe and prefer confrontation. I sparred with different weights, almost all around 60kg, who had more fights than me under their belts. However, I think I have asserted myself.”. Under the guidance of Alessandro El Moety, coach of Roma Boxe TorreAngela the man from Volpiano was in the company of Anthony and Marzio El Moety and Mattia Turrin of Boxe Latina. «It’s nice to grow – explains Bellandi – and share the same goals with the teammates I met in the national team. It means that it wasn’t just a casual connection and that a real friendship is being born. Competitive sport teaches us to be competitive, but also values such as loyalty, respect and, indeed, friendship.”
Gabriele before going to England, he had already been in the blue shirt in Turkey, Romania and Hungary: «I have faced Scots, English, Ukrainians, Irish, Romanians and Azerbaijanis, boxers who, like me, love to exchange». The silver medal of the tricolors Schoolboy and junior, student of master Roberto Lavecchia at the Boxing Academy, He has the quality to emerge and Patrizio Oliva has also noticed this in the national team, former Olympic, world and European champion: «When I fought against a Ukrainian, he told me that it was one of the few times he had seen a boy from that country, accustomed to never giving in, back down in front of an Italian. I had little experience in boxing at the time. Traveling around Europe gives me great satisfaction and allows me to do activities at the highest levels. When I practiced judo I was used to competing every week, while in boxing it’s different, competitive commitments are much less frequent. I miss matches very much and sparring abroad is, after all, like fighting.”
