Hey, welcome back to 4oz to Freedom! In this episode, Zac Coffman sits down with Joe Giannetti — Skeletor himself — as he’s getting ready for something a little different: his pro boxing debut at Cage Titans Revolution, and it’s all going down at Fenway Park. A bucket list moment for a Boston kid.

Joe Giannetti shares how wild it feels to fight at such a historic spot in front of his friends and family. It’s not MMA this time, but boxing — something he calls more of a “side quest” on his journey to the UFC. They chat about how the fight got put together (lots of bugging Cage Titans for a boxing match, apparently), bouncing back after that eye poke in LFA, and why this event is shaping up to be absolutely massive for the New England fight scene.

Plus, you’ll get some behind-the-scenes stories about what it really takes to pull off a fight card like this, why Giannetti is looking to stay extra busy this year, and how becoming a dad is shifting his motivation into high gear.

If you love hearing fighters keep it real about their careers, chasing opportunities, and representing their hometown, you’ll dig this one. Let’s get into it!
