About this listen

Boxing legend Winky Wright sits down with Andre Berto for one of his most personal and revealing interviews ever. In this episode, Winky opens up about growing up in Washington, D.C., being raised by his grandmother, moving to Tampa, meeting Dan Birmingham, building his amateur foundation, and taking the hard road as a pro — including fighting overseas to earn recognition before the world finally caught on. We also get into the fights and moments that built his legacy: Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley, Félix Trinidad, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, his elite jab and defensive genius, and how he earned respect in one of boxing’s toughest eras. Winky also speaks on crossing into the hip-hop world, and his relationships with names like J. Prince, Roy Jones Jr., Chris Lighty, Chris Gotti, Damon Dash, and more. This isn’t just a boxing interview. It’s the story of a man who got it out the mud, took the hard road, and forced the sport to respect him. If you know boxing, you know Winky was different. And if you don’t — this episode will show you exactly why.
