"When you've been in boxing as long as Alex Morrison has been in boxing, you think you've seen it all.
Then comes the call: "There's a wee girl from Kiribati who's competing in the Commonwealths and wants to train at your place. And have you got any women she can box? She's never fought one of them before."
Not only had Taoriba Biniati only ever boxed men, until she arrived at Morrison's Glasgow gym last Monday she had never been in a ring. The Kiribati boxing club consists of a punch bag hanging from a bread fruit tree"
Biniati put up a brave performance in the quarter finals today at SECC but her opponent was stronger. I'm not sure about the merits of women boxing but her dedication is what sport and the Commonwealth Games is all about.
