Butterbean joins The Edlow Podcast for one of his most raw, honest, and inspiring interviews yet. From Toughman contests and boxing fame to battling obesity, pain, addiction to food, and nearly losing his life, Butterbean opens up about the journey that shaped him both inside and outside of the ring. We talk about success, drive, redemption, fatherhood, fighting, and the hidden struggles that come with fame — especially the toll it can take on family and the people closest to you. Butterbean shares what it was like trying to balance being a larger-than-life personality while still being a husband, father, and now grandfather. He also tells stories about the hardest punchers he ever faced, the legendary Brawl for All, and the differences between boxing, wrestling, and MMA. And yes… he calls out MIKE TYSON.
