Season 2: #14 Peter McNeeley

Former heavyweight contender Peter McNeeley is best known for being in the opposite corner when Mike Tyson returned to the ring after his 1992 prison sentence. McNeeley, son of respected former heavyweight Tom, lasted 89 seconds, but he went out on his shield. Here, Tris Dixon catches up with the man who also fought Henry Akinwande, Butterbean and Brian Neilsen in a colourful career that saw him win 47 and lose seven times. Peter talks openly about CTE, suffering with neurological issues from boxing, how he was inspired by his father, how he still runs in to trouble every once in a while, about Tyson and the others and much more in a no holds barred interview.
