A disabled boxer will be enrolled in a coaching course after doctors believed he wouldn’t survive as a newborn baby.

Brandon Kramer, 16, is a regular at Pembroke and Pembroke Dock Amateur boxing club.

Despite being one of the first to have Gómez López-Hernández syndrome in the UK since 1914, Brandon is set to become a qualified boxing coach and is a huge inspiration to all disabled people.

Brandon’s mother, Becky Weatherall said: “Brandon started boxing in school. When he first told me, I freaked out at Chris [McEwen].

“But Chris reassured me everything would be tailored to his needs, and he wouldn’t be fighting anybody. Since then, Brandon has continued to do boxing outside of school.

“We didn’t expect him to get past anything at the start. We are very proud of him. He does need someone to coax him to do things but as long as he’s by Chris’ side he could go on to coach boxing to other disabled people.”

Brandon was taught how to box by Christopher McEwen, the chairman of Pembroke ABC and Great Britain Disability Boxing.

Chris goes into schools across the UK to teach boxing and hosts inclusive sessions every Thursday at Pembroke ABC from 5pm-8:30pm.

He posted on Facebook: “When his mum was pregnant, she was told to terminate. When he was born, she was told he won’t live long. As he got older, his mum was told he would be in a wheelchair.

“When he first came to me, he was 12 years old and used a walking frame. He now walks freely and just achieved a D in GCSE English and a C in IT.

“I’ve just enrolled him on a boxing coaching course. Take a bow young man. I am so proud of you.”

Back in 2008, Brandon was nicknamed the ‘Miracle Baby.’

Doctors predicted Brandon would be born severely disabled and would not survive for more than a few hours, but he emerged fit and healthy on October 1, 2007.

His mother gave birth naturally, surrounded by 40 doctors and spent one week in the hospital as Brandon was jaundice.

However, Brandon was diagnosed with rhombencephalosynapsis (RS), an extremely rare congenital abnormality affecting the development of the brain and swelling of the head.

Still, Brandon went on to have his first birthday party at Pater Hall in Pembroke Dock and went to Folly Farm on his actual birthday.
