IN THEIR WORDS, WHY GUARDIAN

“The foundation is a place where people can come, train, and talk. It's a safe environment — confidential — where people can open up. They come in tense, leave relaxed. It's about talking, building confidence, and not feeling ashamed.”
DESCRIBING HIS FOUNDATION'S PURPOSE

“The reason I had to retire — I had a detached retina in my eye when I fought Tyson the second time. I shouldn't have been in the ring, but I had a family to support.”
EXPLAINING RETIREMENT DECISION

“Men don't get things off their chest. They bottle up stress, anxiety. Even something small like missing a mortgage payment can stress you out. Men think it's embarrassing to admit they're struggling.”
