7x Muay Thai & kickboxing world champion Chad Collins returns to the Proper True Yarn Podcast to tell the full story behind his first world title win — and the emotional moment with his father that changed why he fights forever. From bawling in the change room while getting his hands wrapped, to facing Thai superstar Yod IQ in Melbourne on Rebellion, Chad opens up about manifestation, mindset, and the green lights that told him he was going to win before the bell even rang. He also shares the powerful words his dad — now living with Parkinson's — said to him after the fight: "You have now paid the ferryman." In this episode:
