In this episode I sit down and chat with Kitchener, Ontario native Syd Vanderpool. We chat about everything from mental health, motivational topics, spirituality, his boxing career, and life after boxing!
Vanderpool fought world champions Bernard Hopkins and Jeff Lacey, and had a victory over Glen Johnson.
After retiring from competitive boxing in May 2005 with a professional record of 35 wins and 4 losses with 23 ko's, Vanderpool became the CEO of the Boxing By Syd Athletic Centre in Kitchener. The youngest of five brothers, Vanderpool was encouraged by his father, who build a full size boxing ring in their backyard. According to Vanderpool, success is not about how great of a boxer one can be, but is measured by the quality of meaningful relationships acquired while working toward a goal.
