Ben sits down with Andrew for a conversation on boxing, coaching, athlete development, and what it really means to build skill the right way. Andrew shares how he went from banking to becoming a boxing and strength coach, why he believes fighters need patience, fundamentals, and emotional control, and how boxing is much more than just throwing punches. They also dive into the crossover between boxing and basketball, the role of strength training in combat sports, building trust with athletes, and Andrew’s long-term vision of creating a boxing school that protects the art of the sport while using modern training and science.
