Today we meet Reiss Taylor, a retired boxer from Birmingham who made a name for himself being a crafty journeyman and also holds the record as the UK's shortest pro-boxer.
We talk through his fascinating career, how a stint in football gave him an unrivalled work ethic that translated into boxing and helped him fulfil his dream of making a name for himself.
We also talk through the challenges he faced with boxing and why making the conscious decision to become a road warrior and compete as a journeyman was the best one for his career.
Connect with him and wish him well in retirement as you listen to this episode on how he plans to give back to his community - https://www.instagram.com/joshua_the_general/
