Wayne McCullough - How Do You Keep Fighting After the Bell?

Nicky sits down with boxing legend Wayne McCullough for an inspiring and emotional conversation about triumph, tenacity, and the battles fought both in and out of the ring. From winning Olympic silver at 19 to becoming WBC World Champion in Japan, Wayne shares what it took to succeed on the world stage. He opens up about coping with personal loss, pressure, and later-life depression. They talk about training under the iconic Eddie Futch, his historic walk as Ireland’s flag bearer, and why Wayne never once hit the canvas in 37 pro fights. A story of grit, discipline, and finding purpose after the final bell.
