In this episode, we sit down with professional boxer Melissa “Killer Mel” St. Vil to hear the remarkable story behind the fighter.

Melissa opens up about growing up in a strict Haitian household, where acting out could earn you an “extended vacation” to Haiti—one that might begin as an innocent trip to visit family but end with you being left behind. After behavioral issues led to her staying in Haiti, she found herself in a group home with other children facing similar circumstances. Her time there came to an abrupt end after a fight with another resident named Fifi.

That turbulent childhood ultimately helped forge Melissa’s fighting spirit. She takes us through her journey into boxing, building a 3–0 record while fighting in Haiti, earning the nickname “Lil Miss Tyson,” and experiencing the unforgettable moment when the legendary Mike Tyson personally handed her a championship belt after a victory.

It’s a powerful conversation about discipline, survival, resilience, and how a difficult beginning helped shape “Killer Mel” into the fighter she is today.
