#29 - Aaron 'The Jedi' Jaco, Professional Boxer & Owner of Uppercut Boxing & Fitness

This week the guys are sitting down with Aaron ‘The Jedi’ Jaco, professional boxer, and owner of Uppercut Boxing and Fitness.  We dive into his backstory of how he and his twin brother got into the world of boxing, and what lead him to open his own gym that now trains future professional boxers.  In the episode, they also touch on the new craze of celebrity and social media influencers jumping into the boxing ring, and how that’s affected the sport.  Plus, how has boxing been impacted by the rise of the UFC?

Of course, the guys always bring it back to Sarasota with some discussion on the growth, the highlights, and the roundabouts.
