My name is Paul Fiske and I am the owner and coach ofFlatsnout Fitness Training. I have been involved in thefitness industry for over 25 years as an ABA amateurboxer, representing the RAF and Combined Servicesas champion, and then as a professional boxer, coach,corner man and ABA judge.

I have also played rugby, both at school and in the earlypart of my RAF career. I spent 22 years in the RAF andmy military background has given me the discipline andcommitment I needed to take control of my own healthand fitness, as well as help others to achieve their ownpersonal fitness goals.

During my RAF service, I was involved in triathlons, halfmarathons and marathon marches, These included theCullen Ridge Yomp on the Isle of Skye mountains andCullen Ridge Yomp on the Isle of Skye mountains andmile yomp in full combat kit over Falklands terrain,from Teal Inlet to Mount Pleasant Base. My teamcompleted it in 21 hours.

Flatsnout Fit Club was launched because my weight lossteam wanted a place they could call their own to sharemotivational tips, meal menu ideas and motivationaltraining videos, as well as interact with other members.As a result, our Fit Club members, who also take partin regular, 1-2-1 personal fitness sessions with me,achieved their desired goals much quicker.
I also generally wanted to give the guys a way to gainweight as I constantly got asked can you put somemuscle on my shape. This is easy to do, it just needsconsistent and disciplined work. With Flatsnout FitClub in your corner, I can guide you through this 1-2-1personal fitness sessions with me to help you achieveyour desired goals much quicker.

I started Flatsnout Boxing Fitness in 2014, after 28 yearsin my job as an Aircraft Technician. I served 22 yearsin the RAF and served all over the world with varioussquadrons, including in a few hot spots. After leavingthe RAF, I took over as a Propulsion Supervisor for BAEat RAF Leeming to decommission the very Tornadosthat I had kept flying for the past 22 years a touchingand fitting end to a worthy fighter aircraft.

My boxing career started at Norwich Lads club, whereI was coached by Dick Sadd, the younger brother ofGinger Sadd, a prominent middleweight of the waryears, who had won a non-title (British professional)fight against Freddy Mills.

We had a great team captained by the now prominentNorwich trainer and manager, Graham Everett, whichincluded my pal, Herbie Hide, who went on to becomeWBO World Heavyweight Champion.

I joined the RAF and never looked back, in terms ofboxing. I began boxing there in 1989, winning the LordWakefields tournament for novices and enjoyed agreat RAF ABA career until turning professional in 1997with Dave Gregory and Paul Lister.

In my amateur career I had risen to Number 2 inthe British ABA Super Heavyweight ranks and hadfought bouts with four different ABA Champions.(Unfortunately, I never won lol).My time in RAF Boxing,as the Super Heavyweight Champion and CombinedServices Heavyweight Champion, served me well andincluded my very first ABA coaching course back in1989 at sunny RAF St. Athans in South Wales.

This proved to be a tremendous foundation for mycoaching career, and I also boxed at Ahlen Boxing Clubin RAF Germany. The circuit out in Germany (or WestGermany, as it was in those days!) was the Bundesligaand you were paid 300 Deutsche Marks per fight, everyfortnight. The opposition was fierce with many Turkishheavyweights, who knew only one way, which wasforward.

I was offered a professional contract in these early dayswith Olaf Schrader. Unfortunately, the safety of an RAFcareer won the day and I stayed as an amateur.

I returned to the UK on a promotion course and endedup back in Norfolk at RAF Coltish all, fixing Jaguarground attack fighters. This allowed me also to returnto the Norwich Lads club, which massively improvedmy boxing. I would train under my old Norwich Ladsclub captain, Graham Everett and learnt a lot from myold pal and then WBO champion Herbie Hide. It wasfunny, as I helped him with his sparring, doing warmup rounds in preparation for his fight versus TonyTucker, who I later fought in an EBF fight in Newcastle.As I recall, Herbie was at his fastest and lethal best thatnight, dispatching Tucker in just two rounds.

I fought with the ABA top ten at super heavyweightin those days, fighting quality name opponents andlearnt masses about boxing. After sparring with Herbie,I eventually decided to give professional boxing ago. I then was posted up to RAF Leeming and livedin Newcastle. My uncle recommended The FellingWarriors club to me, and I turned professional withDave Gregory and Paul Lister.
