Powered by Everlast, Protect Yourself at All Times: A Guide For Professional Boxers is a 12 series boxing podcast that prepares any up and coming fighter for the challenges he will surely encounter from the business of boxing. This game-changing guide shines a light on the gray area in the sport by covering topics such as taxes, contracts, retirement, insurance & more.
