    Joe Mesi is a Former Undefeated Heavyweight Contender, Award Winning Account Manager, Inspirational Speaker & Ambassador to Buffalo

    Plenty of Positivity with Courtney Beck welcomes Joe Mesi! Once nicknamed Buffalo’s “Third Franchise” after the Buffalo Bills & Sabres, Joe Mesi capitalized quickly on a successful career in the boxing ring to become a household name among New York sports enthusiasts. “Baby Joe” as he is affectionately known, elevated Buffalo boxing into the national spotlight.  Born in Buffalo NY, Joe was a three sport athlete playing football, baseball & wrestling but it would ultimately be the sport of boxing at the “late” age of 19 that would define Joe’s rapid national ascent where he eventually became a 1996 US Olympic Team member.   Later during his unbeaten professional boxing career he signed a promotional contract with legendary champion, then promoter, Sugar Ray Leonard where Mesi was featured numerous times on ESPN Friday Nights Fights.  His cult like following then attracted the attention of HBO, signing a multi-fight deal which then included winning the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Heavyweight Championship and also the WBC US Heavyweight Championship.  After selling out Buffalo’s HSBC arena three times, Madison Square Garden & Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Joe was eventually “forced” to retire with an undefeated record of 36-0 (29 KO’s) due to a controversial head injury. At the time he was the #1 ranked heavyweight contender in the world & next in line for a shot at the title.  A few years later in 2010 Joe discovered his niche again when he found himself at the top of the rankings selling medical devices to world class surgeons.  This illustrious second career began with Abbott then transitioned to Boston Scientific, but more recently Joe joined a small innovative company called Octave Bioscience, where he will help expand their growth in sales.  If that isn’t enough, he is most passionate about sharing his inspiring story & message as a keynote speaker, speaking nationally to High Schools, Colleges, Former Athletes as well as Physician Groups & Medical Societies. Given all of these accolades, Joe claims that it is his wife Michelle & three children (Hope, Juliet & Joseph) that he is most proud of.  In this episode, Joe Mesi discusses his journey in boxing, the life lessons learned through sports, the importance of resilience, and the support from family and community.  Joe shares his experiences with fame, the pressure of performing in front of a hometown crowd, and the transition from boxing to a career in sales.  He emphasizes the value of perspective and the continuous journey of personal growth.
