The Legacy of Boxing: From Grandfather to Uncle
This chapter of the podcast episode explores the speaker's family history in boxing, from their grandfather's success as the first Irishman to win a European amateur title to their uncle's positive impact on troubled youth through the sport. They reflect on the dangers and benefits of boxing, draw parallels to the debate around rugby safety concerns, and discuss the one-sided conversation around the risks and benefits of sports like rugby and American football.
