By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon.
Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson’s training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D’Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet.
In the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe’s pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.

I'm sure he could crush my head with one punch. But what a surprisingly insightful, sensitive and gentle man. He has a great sense of humor and such a positive approach to life. What a likeable guy. Great interview!
The best example of everything I’ve ever loved about boxing is Joe Egan. He is a beautiful human being and an ambassador for the sport we all love.
So good many others are currently getting to hear the great man talk, and when he does we all listen with a smile from ear to ear!
I have had the pleasure of meeting Joe Egan he interviewed after I had been knocked out by Dominic Negus. He is a Proper good guy a gentleman a real hardman but you can see the Kindness in him.
u fought pro boxing ? @@kevinmitchell9376
@@kevinmitchell9376 That looked like a tough fight, Dom's a big old bruiser, his shots looked powerful boyyy! Amazing to see you posting here in the comments 😅🎉 🥊🥊🥊
All the time for big Joe....never heard much of him before but the more I see and listen the more respect for him.. God bless!
shows how times have changed, dad went abroad and sent money home to feed 7 kids, now we have men living with their mother unemployed smoking cannabis all day and women getting housed, fed and continuing to have kiss so they arent asked to work, most dont even cook anymore, they get take aways, oven pizzas, and each kid chooses what they want each evening. it's always something that they can microwave or throw in the oven
Have never seen so accurate account of both male and female parents
What about Vesta curry and rice? Times haven't changed that much. Bread and butter? come on😊
This is 100% accurate, well said my good man 👌
@@breakfast917 you ate that because it waa cheap food, now the poorest in society on benefits eat based on convenience, no one on benefits is eating bread and butter or even buying value range food. they are buying branded oven pizzas, take aways etc. families with parents who do not work on benefits are now better off than lots of working families in the 1970s and 80s but we are told their obese kids are going hungry and need free school meals all year round
Joe on the word Fear - It has 2 components. - : 'Forget everything and run. or Face everything and rise'. Joe brings so much more than just boxing to this convo. Humanity is what i get from this. Chuck Wepner wrote the original script for Rocky? Wow. ty again 4 gr8 convo.

That PEEKABOO Hitting off the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from.. KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT and BEND YOUR KNEES as you WEAVE side to side, don't lean forwards as you weave, because the opponent will put his weight on the back of your head and back to push and hold you down. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. DON'T PULL STRAIGHT BACK, because the punches are still coming at you... if you lean backwards, you will get steamrolled, railroaded over... so instead move side to side, slipping, dipping, weaving punches and using TWIST's, SPRINGS's footwork to angle off/around to the sides of the opponents weak area's where you can hit him and he cannot hit you back. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab, pushing forwards off our rear right foot as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. Against taller opponents, using a SLIPJAB, a Jab that is thrown off a left or right angle from the sides, makes it much easier to reach and get past the opponents long reaching arms, with your Jab... You either slip left or right and throw the Jab whilst in a slip position before coming back to centre or moving in to take a flanking position, by getting to the sides and hitting. Willie Bag Numbers are 7 Lead Head Jab, 1 Lead Head Hook, 2 Rear Straight Head Punch, 3 Left Uppercut, 4 Right Uppercut, 5 Left Liver Body Hook, 6 Right Body Hook, Straight 6 is a Low Rear Straight Punch to the Body, 8 Lead Low Jab... then you have the 9, introduced around 2009 to avoid confusion... the 9 being a Rear Head Hook, formally also a 2 back in the old days. Remember, when hitting to the body or throwing uppercuts, bend your knees and get low first to fire that punch upwards with great leverage from a low center of gravity. Punch through the target, moving forwards behind the Jab or Slip Jab, never back up after, but keep moving forwards behind that punch... so you cover the distance needed to entre through the side door and land exactly outside the shoulder of the opponent in a position where you can hit them and they cannot hit you. NEVER BACK UP !, instead go sideways by either Slip, Dip, Twist or Spring... My personal favourite is first either to Slip or Dip to the side, then Twist after off that Slip or Dip... your constantly moving forwards around the opponent. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :)...
He’s a Beast
I like Mr Egan.
Great 👍
Gunna find him big Joe!!! He's talking a lot of sense
Wrong pub, might get ?
Is this the 7 times Irish boxing champion and sparring partner to the great Mike Tyson?
what's Joe Egan's thoughts on this whole Tyson vs Jake Paul then? he doesn't seem to even know about it? there's nothing across the whole internet on Egan's thoughts on it all.
WOTTA A GENTLEMAN FAIR PLAY M8 RESPECT 👍 🤙
i like joe but i think he's got a few things wrong on the rocky move . Chuck Wepner was a pro boxer he did fight Ali in 1975 great fight but in 1966 he went in with Buster Mathis ( George forman1969 ) (1970 soney liston & Joe Bugner .)... 71 -72 two fights with Randy Neumann plus many more 36 wins 14 losses 17 ko's ..& i believe sly said nothing about chuck writing the story as sly himself did the writing of Rocky
Cant not like joe i had a mate from dublin called noel lived in chelmsley wood knew egan
Jesus thats twice jens laughed in joes face
Has faith goid person
This no joke I'm sat smoking heroin watching this and it's fucked because this my last smoke I'm wanted on warrant and handing myself in at lunch time.....
Need to go prison to get help just sad prison is a answer
Great interview as always Shaun and jenny. What a great guy joe is much respect to him. Two comments - i think alchohol is another drug wich causes as much damage as the illegal ones that destroy people. And as much as i love Mike tyson isn't "the toughest white man on the planet" a racist thing to say surely he could come up with a new quote 😆
This must be an old interview
There are more bad police than good sadly and they usually get away with the bad things they do. They should be held to a higher standard as police.
Quick questions...You do know that alcohol is a drug right? Is profiting from running a pub any different than profiting selling drugs? Way more misery around from alcohol...but it's legal, so it's all good!
Very interesting guy though.
Glad to hear joe appreciates the british soldiers 🙏
Shit Joe, I bunped in to you in Clearys in Digbeth and called you Dave, just wanted to say sorry and please don't slap me if I see you again 😅😅
I was at the point of dying once, spoiler alert, i obviously didnt, my last thougts were not about a deity, definitely not about the police, my last thoughts were about Bruce Lee and what would he do and i bet he would struggle in this situation. Sorry God, my bad.
Michael franchise selling his soul ey
the reason Ali couldn't fight Wepner every month is because he badly cheated, using illegal Rabbit punches to the back of his head, which is probably what caused the brain damage he suffered. Shameful from Wepner and the referee for allowing it
His claim to fame is he sparred mike Tyson.
Which is pretty good !!
Yeah but cringeworthy now. Milking it
When did u spar mike Tyson though if u did you’d tell people aswell it’s human nature. I thought he came across as a gentleman with a good spirit
seems a decent Fella. Good luck to him milking Mike Tyson.@@ganjamannpeaceee3830
That's a good claim to have lol
On the other podcast he said he lost his mum & dad now he saying they are still
