James is Ireland's youngest ever professional boxer, with a record of 5 - 0, with 4 knockouts.
During this conversation, we discuss his journey to join the Tiger Muay Thai fight team, including the quarantine period he is currently undergoing to get into the Kingdom of Thailand.
We touch on a number of topics, including:
- The decision to leave Ireland to make his way to Thailand to join our fight team
- The journey from the amateur to professional ranks
- The mindset, attitude and discipline that he has adopted since taking up boxing at the age of 9 years old
- How he deals with the business side of the sport
- How he responds to the inevitable number of haters that sprout up whenever you dedicate yourself to reaching the pinnacle of your chosen path
This is a great conversation with a young guy who is hungry to become the best he can possibly be, whilst also keeping himself grounded and humble along that path to greatness.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."
The odds were stacked against me:
● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life
● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school
● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000
14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
