Simon joins Lizzie & Matt
Lizzie : Hi Simon ! Why are you wearing a cap ? Is that a black eye ?
Matt : What have you done ?
Simon : Oh this, it’s nothing. Didn’t I tell you ? I’ve taken up boxing !
Lizzie : Why ? It’s so dangerous.
Matt : Yeah, look at you !
Simon : When my dad was younger, he used to box, and the other day, there was a TV program about Muhammad Ali.
Lizzie : Yeah he died recently, didn’t he ?
Simon : He did, last year, in 2016. And, well, I just sort of were so motivated by his attitude and what he did in his life that I signed up for boxing the next day.
Matt : Impressive.
Lizzie : How long have you been training ?
Matt : Not long enough by the looks of things
Lizzie : Oh, knock it off Matt.
Simon : I’ve been training for a couple of weeks and my trainer says that I can have my first fight in 6 months.
Lizzie : I still think it’s dangerous. You’ll be careful, won’t you ?
Simon : Don’t worry, I have all the protection I’ll need.
Matt : You know, I’ve already played against Muhammad Ali.
Lizzie : In your dreams…
Matt : I have ! On a videogame on my console ! And it’s much safer !
