Summary

Tris Dixon goes one-on-one with former light-heavyweight contender and now trainer John 'Iceman' Scully in a revealing interview with someone who lives and breathes boxing. Scully now has a role training 175lbs king Artur Beterbiev and he's worked with Chad Dawson and Matt Remillard, among others. He still also actively spars, aged 52, having retired with 38 wins against 11 losses. Scully fought the likes of Henry Maske, Tim Littles, Tony Thornton and Michael Nunn, but was arguably best known for his sparring roles with the likes of the brilliant Roy Jones, the great James Toney, Steve Collins and Donnie Lalonde. University is in session, as Ice is a student of the game, to this day.
