In this episode of The Dean Taylor Show, Dean sits down with Billy Moore — former boxer, author, and survivor of one of the harshest prison systems in the world.
Billy shares the unfiltered reality of life inside a Thai prison: the violence, isolation, addiction, and the brutal fight for survival. He opens up about how Muay Thai became his lifeline — not just physically, but mentally — and how it ultimately helped him rebuild his life.
His story later became the book and film A Prayer Before Dawn, but behind the headlines is a deeply personal journey of destruction, discipline, and redemption.
Recorded under the needle while being tattooed, this conversation is raw, honest, and uncomfortable at times — exactly how real stories should be.
This episode explores:
• Surviving the Thai prison system
• Addiction and self-destruction
• Muay Thai as mental and physical salvation
• Identity, masculinity, and rebuilding after rock bottom
• What true resilience really looks like
Raw conversations. Real stories. No filters.
