In Episode 2 of Vino, Vinyl, Vici, we sit down with boxing legend Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the sport he loves.

This episode goes far beyond fight stories.

Ray opens up about:

• The real problems inside modern boxing (sanctioning bodies, TV money, weight cuts, corruption)
• Why Jake Paul isn’t a boxer — but still deserves respect
• How boxing lost ground to the UFC (and what Dana White got right)
• Why hunger matters more than talent
• His deep friendship with Marvelous Marvin Hagler and the lesson Hagler lived by
• The difference between being great and being legendary
• The fight with Duk Koo Kim, the aftermath, and the healing that followed
• Meeting Kim’s family years later — and finding redemption, grace, and peace
• The upcoming biopic “Boom” and why the story must be told the right way

This is a masterclass in legacy, accountability, humility, and truth — from someone who lived it all.
