SHELDON'S FACTFILE

Born: 17 July 1985

Sport: Boxing

Sheldon Jopling

I'm feeling alright but obviously a little bit disappointed.

It was really close all the way but Garth just got it at the end.

He deserves his victory as he won more events.

You try not to think about winning but just try and keep your mind clear, focusing on the events coming up so I'm happy.

I feel OK about my performance. I gave it everything so you can't really complain.

I thought Austria was great but the live final was brilliant. It was just one big high all along. Even if you lost an event all the lads and lasses picked you up.

I got a bit of fame and the training helped with my boxing. I'll rest for a bit then just go back to my training.

It's been a good experience - the best time of my life.

I'm going to go back to my job with some great memories.
