  • TB TOPP (Kenny Bell) Gave Me a BLACK EYE… Then Told Me His Story 😳🥊

    KENNY BELL aka TB TOPP sits down with Vince Serrano on Youngest in the Yacht Club for one of the most raw and revealing conversations yet.

    Tampa knows Kenny Bell (@tb.topp) as TB Topp — boxer, NBL champion, rapper, entertainer, father and one of the most talked-about personalities coming out of the city. But behind the viral moments, fights, music and social media persona is a story most people have never heard.

    Kenny opens up about growing up in Sulphur Springs, Tampa street culture, surviving a life-changing shooting, incarceration, his battles with the legal system, and the moment he realized something had to change.

    He explains why BOXING SAVED HIS LIFE, how he became one of the faces of NBL (Nature Born Leaders), and why the movement's message of putting the guns down and putting the gloves on means so much more to him than fighting.

    TB Topp also gets real about his music career, his evolution from Killer King to TB Topp, his health scare, faith, family, relationships, controlling anger, sacrificing for boxing and his mission to build a legacy bigger than himself.

    And yes… Kenny explains how the host ended up with a BLACK EYE before the interview. 😂🥊

    This is the side of TB Topp you DON'T see on social media.
