Huddle Up With Tony Jefferson

Question: So your dad was a boxer, right? Did he bring you into it when you were young?

Answer: Yeah, my dad was always for it. My mom wasn’t really a big fan of it. She didn’t really like my dad boxing in the first place. He had gotten hurt on his job after he was training for the Olympics and that’s when he stopped boxing. My mom didn’t like it but my dad always wanted me to do it. There was one year I even thought about skipping a year of Pop Warner and just do boxing.
