#29 - Jay McFarlane – Caribbean Orphanage to Madison Square Garden: Boxing is Saving my Life

Jay is a heavyweight boxer who has won the Scottish Cruiserweight title and was the youngest boxer to fight at Madison Square Gardens.

This podcast is the most explosive, intimate, and intense podcast I have ever listened to never mind recorded. And, we recorded in in real life in a studio!

Jay opens about his Mum being caught up in a drug smuggling operation whilst on holiday which ultimately led to him, and his 6-year-old autistic brother being homed in a Caribbean orphanage.

He speaks intimately about how this event, and growing up in a deprived area, has propelled his boxing journey which he navigates the “jay way”. Jay talks about what it was like fighting kids twice his age when he weighed almost 80kg at the age of 8.

He opens about the career prospects of professional boxing and speaks transparently about the money in boxing.

He speaks about his highlights which include dropping almost 35kg to make cruiserweight to win the Scottish Cruiserweight Title.

He also speaks very candidly of his experience with suicidal tendencies, mental health, alcoholism.

Thanks, Jay, for stopping by and being so open and candid.

Some of the stories told by Jay can be interpreted as sensitive and therefore viewer and listener discretion is advised. The stories and topics discussed do not reflect me or the opinions of my employer.
