About this listen

This one wasn’t planned. In the middle of NYC traffic, a chance Uber ride turned into a once-in-a-lifetime conversation with **Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs** – and it's one of the most emotional episodes we’ve ever recorded.

The former World Heavyweight Champion opens up like never before about:

- Growing up homeless in Brownsville, Brooklyn

- His first fight at 16, sparked by fear of crossing a bridge

- George Foreman’s power & Lennox Lewis’ greatness

- Regret, redemption, and the hunt for a perfect trainer

- Life after boxing: cannabis, acting, family, legacy

- Mental health, motivation, addiction, and survival

- His Mount Rushmore of Boxing (surprising picks!)

If you're a boxing fan, a fighter, or just someone chasing a dream — this episode is for you. LET'S GO CHAMP.
