His Boxing Career Was Taken From Him | Tony Jeffries
Tony Jeffries won Olympic bronze in boxing, then turned pro and started building an unbeaten record before one hometown fight changed everything. He opens up about how his promoter talked him into a fight that was supposed to be six rounds, only for him to find out mid-fight, live on national TV, that it was eight. After that, he received thousands of abusive messages telling him he was shit and that he should die. He also reflects on being forced into boxing as a kid, punching a bully in the face at 10 after his parents told him to, and the dedication, sacrifice and self-doubt that followed him throughout his career. Eventually, both hands gave out, his boxing career was over at 27, and the drinking and depression took hold. But losing boxing became the best thing that ever happened to him, as he channelled that same obsession into becoming the biggest boxing educator in the world, with over 3 million YouTube subscribers. This episode is about what happens when the one thing you built your life around is taken away, and how you find a way to build something even bigger. 🥊 Backstreet Brawla Boxing Apparel: Instagram →   / backdtreetbrawla  Website → https://www.backstreetbrawla.com.au ✊ Follow Tony: YouTube →    / @tony_jeffries  Instagram →   / tony_jeffries  TikTok →   / tony_jeffries  Facebook →   / olympian.tony  🥋 Follow Benny: Instagram →   / bendrohan  TikTok →   / bendrohan  Facebook →   / bennydrohan  🎙️ Follow Benny Drohan Podcast: YouTube →    / @bennydrohan  Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/3XoI7MR...
