Mike Safo

Joined today by current WBO cruiserweight champion of the world, Chris Billam-Smith. Chris and I talk about family-life, how one minute he's called "Champ" and another he's called "Dad" and assumes his role as parent, his romantic proposal, and the difficult of juggling training camp and his home life. Chris talks about his podcast, interviewing different "perfect athletes", when we can expect the next episodes and what will be new. We talk about his first love, soccer / futbol, his AFC Bournemouth Cherries, watching them growing up and the wild celebration he had when they were promoted to the Premier league. We chat about why Chris started boxing, falling into the Shane McGuigan stable, his insane early professional schedule and how he became a knockout fighter. Chris talks about the emotional homecoming and fighting for the world title as his childhood stadium, where he dreamed of playing soccer. We hear about the ring walk walk-thorough, hearing his friends cheering his name and how he kept his emotions i
