In this special fight week episode of Weighing In with Travis Hartman, I sit down with professional boxer Kevin Nunez ahead of his upcoming fight on February 19 fighting under Christy Martin Promotions. Born in Puerto Rico and fighting out of Orlando, Kevin opens up about his boxing journey, training camp, mindset going into this fight, and what this moment means for his career. We also talk about the importance of this event, which is helping raise awareness and support the fight against domestic violence — a cause deeply connected to Christy Martin’s story and legacy. This is a raw, real conversation about sacrifice, preparation, and what it takes to step into the ring when everything is on the line. If you’re a boxing fan, fighter, or someone who respects the grind behind the scenes — this episode is for you.
