EP 76 - From Chasing the Gloves to Fighting Under the Burj with Anthony Maher.

In this episode of Unfiltered with Mia, I sit down with Anthony Maher, a young man whose journey took him from Ireland to Dubai, first working as a real estate agent, then as a recruiter, and now stepping into the spotlight for something much bigger: boxing. 🥊At just 23 years old, while many his age were focused on parties and nightlife, Anthony chose a different path, pursuing his passion for boxing. A decision that demanded sacrifices, discipline, determination, and consistency, but one that shaped him into who he is today.Anthony recently fought in two of the biggest amateur boxing events in Dubai: Grass Roots Boxing, where a WBC title was on the line and he fought on the undercard, and The Battle of the Burj, a once-in-a-lifetime fight right in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa.We dive into his early beginnings in sports, starting with swimming before discovering his passion for boxing, how he found the sport in Dubai, and what it was like to train and prepare for these two huge events. Anthony gives us his honest take on both experiences—the highs, the challenges, and the lessons learned inside and outside of the ring.This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about courage, sacrifice, and chasing your passion no matter where life takes you.Follow Anthony’s Journey on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/anthony_maher_?igsh=ZTc5ZG85MTJoeDZz____________________________________________________FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials:Youtube: https://youtu.be/0Q7zbhVeLIkSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQApple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredwithmia?igsh=aHNqM2J6dnh4N2py Video Editor: Wahid Sekkar IG :https://www.instagram.com/wahidsekkar?igsh=bGJ1NDVlYjM1dno3 Thumbnail & Logo Credits:Meliora Concept Design IG:https://www.instagram.com/melioraconceptdesign?igsh=MXJuc3Bvc3drMGVqZQ== Love Mia xx
