In this raw and wild yarn, boxing coach Ben Savva shares how he hit absolute rock bottom—dumped, broke, and living in a hostel—only to rebuild his life from scratch in Australia. After a mad breakup and losing everything, Ben finds redemption the hard way: stepping into a boxing ring for a “job interview” and landing a coaching gig on the spot. From chaos to clarity, this yarn is all about grit, growth, and the punch that changed it all.#ProperTrueYarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Boxing coach Ben Savva steps into the Proper True Yarn hot seat and delivers a wild, raw yarn about his early days owning a gym in the UK—when Saturday nights meant beers, benders, and busted glass bottles.

It’s a story of ego, madness, redemption, and the moment a crate of beers flying through a gym changed everything.#ProperTrueYarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
