JT opens up about going from 30+ jobs to finding his purpose in boxing, building multiple successful gyms, developing amateur and professional fighters, and why he believes boxing can teach lessons that go far beyond fighting. Then we get into Mike Perry. Coach JT breaks down what makes Mike different, shares wild behind-the-scenes Mike Perry stories, explains how they’re preparing for Dillon Danis, and gives his official prediction for their August 29 fight in Orlando. We also talk UFC striking, the mentality that separates great fighters, Jordan vs. LeBron, the future of Technique Boxing, and the legacy JT wants to leave in his community.
