Summary

The irrepressible former heavyweight champion Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs – Let's Go Champ – is in brilliant form talking about his time at the top and the harder times on the bottom. He talks of the rivals he faced, the contenders of the time and the great heavyweight champions while explaining how he has maintained a positive outlook on life and the fresh start that he made with the birth of his daughter. Still hoping for big things, he talks about the big nights, the disappointments, stalking Klitschko, fighting Foreman, challenging Lewis and much more in a roller coaster that takes you from the highs of championship glory to the emptiness of defeat and beyond. A drinker at 13, homeless, fighting top amateurs and then trying to make his mark in the pros, it's all here, raw and uncut. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
