In this raw and deeply moving episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with heavyweight boxing champion turned truth-teller David “Nino” Rodriguez. Together, they strip away the public persona to reveal the pain, power, and purpose behind Nino’s turbulent journey, from bullied child in a border-town barrio to an undefeated knockout king, and ultimately to a man scarred by violence, addiction, and loss. Nino recounts the traumas that shaped him, including the murder of his mentor, his own near-death experiences, and the brutal realities of fame and the fall that followed. The two warriors share parallels in their battles with identity, loss, and rebuilding after careers that defined them were taken away. It’s a brutally honest reflection on redemption, God, and the emotional aftermath of a life lived on the edge. Unfiltered and unforgettable, this is Nino like you’ve never seen him.
