Professional boxer Marco Simmonds shares his deeply personal journey — from being adopted at birth alongside his siblings, to discovering that his mother had died from drug addiction when he was just 13 years old.
With his father in and out of prison, Marco turned to boxing as an outlet and a path forward. Now an active professional fighter, he opens up about his constant drive to succeed, the pressure of comparing himself to others, and the struggles of opening up about his feelings.
This is more than a boxing story — it’s about resilience, loss, and learning to believe in yourself.
