Neil Pallone delivers one of the most raw and compelling conversations on family legacy, boxing history, the rise of female fighters, domestic violence advocacy, and the psychological toll of working in corrections. As the nephew of legendary welterweight “Tough Tony” Pallone, Neil breaks down the untold story behind one of boxing’s most influential families and how that legacy shaped his life. Neil speaks candidly about growing up around fighters, his early years in Brooklyn and Yonkers, the reality of making money too young, failed marriages, rediscovering creativity as a playwright, and a 19 year career in corrections that nearly shut down his artistic side. He then reveals how a chance moment reignited his passion for storytelling and connected him to a new mission: promoting and mentoring female boxers while raising awareness about domestic violence through the Tough Tony Team. This episode dives deep into human struggle, second chances, inner battles, and the power of using your experiences to elevate others. If you are passionate about boxing, women’s sports, mental health, domestic violence awareness, personal growth, storytelling, or New York culture, this is a must-watch.
