I had the pleasure of speaking with Justin Shackil, a man who you’ve most likely seen or heard from whenever you’ve tuned into any Matchroom Boxing fight week event over the past few years. Additionally if you’re a Yankees fan, like myself, you have definitely heard his voice on WFAN or seen him on the YES Network.

We were not only able to talk and cover his career getting into boxing, but what have been his favorite moments in the sport and of course talked some Yankees Baseball as well!
