Kubrat Pulev, the forbidden fruit and a suspended license

Recent boxing news are all about Bulgarian boxer Kubrat Pulev, who dared to kiss Vegas Sports Daily reporter Jenny Sushe while she was interviewing him. Whether the reason for this incident is Pulev’s excitement about his win or not, there is not point in analysing previous events. Whether she felt humiliated at her workplace or not, the podcast focuses on “the bright side of life” and opportunities arising in front of the participants of the soap drama we have enjoyed so much recently.

I talked about the matter with the manager of East London Boxing Club- Fayaz, who established it 3 years ago with his friend Sedat. Eager to keep in shape and at the same time teach others how to do it as well, Fayaz is the type of person who has the power to motivate people around him. “I love boxing. Boxing is my passion,” he says. And you can feel his fondness in the club and its atmosphere.

All in all, we cannot have a rainbow without a little rain. If the kiss had not happened, there would not have been drama. Consequently, the interest of the media would not have been so high. Have a look at the gallery of headlines and tweets below:

My career plan- who do I want to be when I graduate (Section 3)

I. New skills to learn:

In order to achieve what I have as a goal in my mind, I need to develop research skills, the ability to understand things exactly how they are and not to distort the information given to me. What is more, I would need to enhance my creativity thinking, so I can bear with the time pressure. I may often have to come up with ideas fast to keep my business active. And I have to learn to adapt to different circumstances quickly and get used to both approval and harsh criticism, both success and failure.

II. My media diet:

I have to examine carefully how topics like fashion, arts, astrology are covered in other media outlets, because I want to become an expert in these categories. Of course I will not stop looking at recent news and exploring issues that concern contemporary society, but I will focus my attention on magazines like Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Elle, Apollo, The Sunday Times, ES, Grazia, Aesthetica. I will also listen to the radio and a variety of podcasts, like GrownUpLand, These things shall pass: delusions and how to survive them , Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 , Fortunately… with Fi and Jane , The Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show , Drama of the Week , Evil Genius with Russell Kane , Time Travellers , Late Night Woman’s Hour.

TV programmes like BBC, SkyNews, ITV, would also be helpful with expanding my general knowledge.

Bloggers I should keep up with include Felix Salmon, Adam Tinworth, David Higgerson, Mary Hamilton and Many Jenkins.

Twitter accounts that are worth following are: Matt Thompson, Andrew Sullivan , Claire Lehmann , Jason Willick and Stoycho Kerev.

III. What optional modules I chose/ am about to choose:

I picked up Polylang (Russian) as an optional module in Year 1, and I will definitely do it again in Year 2, because apart from journalism, I have another passion- astrology, and I am planning to enrol on an astrology course in Russia. I am planning to do Fashion Journalism as my second optional module in Year 2. I will select Dissertation and Performing Arts Journalism in Year 3. I love and I am used to writing a lot, so 8000 words would not be that big problem. And there is an unconditional love between me and the theatre ever since I was a child and I think I will have a lot of fun during last year of my BA degree. By doing all these modules, I will combine everything that I like in my monthly piece of paper, which does not have a name yet, but I will come up with it soon.
