After his mum died of lung cancer 3 years ago on the 9th of September – Jude has been very committed to the health of his lungs and has therefore worked very hard to become a good level amateur boxer as well as going completely cold turkey from smoking the day his mum died, a vow that himself and the older brother, Harvey took in respect for their mother.
