In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we sit down with British boxing champion Denzel Bentley for a raw and honest conversation about life, choices, and the thin line between two very different futures.

Denzel speaks openly about growing up surrounded by influences that could easily have led him down a path into crime, and how boxing became the thing that pulled him away from it. Without the sport, he’s clear that his life could have looked very different.

He reflects on friends he grew up with who didn’t find that same outlet, some now serving prison sentences, others who never made it out at all. The conversation doesn’t shy away from the reality of knife and gun violence, and the lasting impact it has had on the people and communities around him.

We also talk about his journey in boxing, becoming a three-time British champion and winning the WBO world title, as well as what it’s been like being promoted by renowned promoter Frank Warren and operating at the highest level of the sport.

This is a no-nonsense discussion about discipline, survival, and how one decision can change the course of a life.

Let us know what you think in the comments. Did boxing save Denzel from the wrong path, or was it always in him to rise above it?
