Everybody, it's Tony Robbins, it's Tony Robbins podcast. I'm real excited to be with you today because, you know,

I have the privilege of working some of the greatest athletes in history and I've been to some of the most amazing fights, both boxing and UFC.

I've seen this last January I got to work with Conor McGregor which is a great privilege and watching win the fight in the first 40 seconds and all the electricity about.

But also the beauty of sportsmanship of watching Conor go over there and hug his opponent, you know afterwards and sincere and acknowledge his grandmother who is cowboy, his opponent, greatest influence.

So sports can bring out the best of us or the worst of us, it depends on our character.

And, you know, I've worked with a lot of amazing athletes over the time and during their tough times and during some of their best times.

But when people see boxing or UFC, I think a lot of times they think it's just roughions. People just beaten up on each other and they don't understand the discipline involved in boxing or martial arts.

You know, that boxing is often called, you know, the sweet sport. It's a combination of skill sets and intellect.

It isn't just physical force and the greatest in history are the ones that can combine their psychology, their spirit, their soul and that physical body to produce extraordinary results.

And I think we all need to be able to face our fears and move forward. So I thought in the middle of this kind of COVID environment, it might be nice to visit, you know, ringside with a legend.

And I'm here with an unbelievable legend. The only man to be a four times world boxing champion, Evander Hallefield.

Thank you, brother, for taking the time to visit with us. Thank you. Now, we were talking just before we started about interviews. I said, how many interviews you've done over your life?

Would you share with me? It's like, here's this incredibly powerful man and what was it like in the beginning?

Why? It was the most scary thing. It was harder than to fight, you know, just to guess in what this person may ask me and not answer properly.

Yes. And how did you learn to deal with that over the years? You built, obviously, to now it doesn't bother you. But what did it take to get there? Because I heard it really was tough on you in the beginning.

Well, you know, this is the thing. You know, if you make a mistake, you know, you know that you make one. People make mistakes, but repetition is what made people better.

Yeah. Well, that's true in fighting or in life. So listen, tell us a little bit about your childhood, a little bit, if we could start there because you started fighting when you were like seven years old to understand correctly.
