Episode Synopsis

Tony grew up as a “tall, skinny, freckled kid” in Sunderland and went from being picked on at school to boxing for Great Britain at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Much of Tony’s success was down to his father’s encouragement and insistence that he train and develop his boxing skills. When Tony eventually won his Olympic medal, the first person he would thank would be his father.Visit www.tonyjeffries.com to find out more about Tony.Check out our website for the latest from Our VoicesWe're also on Facebook, Twitter and InstagramA Fascinate Production
