Boxer juggles Commonwealth Games with study
Due to attend his second Commonwealth Games, Kiwi boxer Wendell Stanley is juggling his build up for Glasgow with his university studies which he is undertaking thanks to an HPSNZ Prime Minister’s Athlete Scholarship.
With his eyes set on Glasgow right now, Wendell’s long term plans are focussed on a career in sports psychology.
Wendell, along with fellow boxer Alex Mukuka, are the ‘old hands’ in the recently named seven strong boxing team.
Both Wendell, who competes in the Men’s 70kg division, and Alex who competes in the Men’s 55kg division, made it through to the quarter finals in Birmingham 2022.
The two will be joined by five Commonwealth Games debutantes to compete from 24 July to 1 August at Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC).
