Josh opens up about his breakout year, detailing how he went from the small hall circuit to upsetting Mark Chamberlain at Wembley. He gives us the inside story on taking the Shakur Stevenson fight on short notice, what it was really like to share the ring with a pound-for-pound star, and his honest thoughts on the controversial scorecards. Josh also reveals the brutal financial reality of being a professional boxer, balancing a 9-to-5 job as an electrician, and why he's now dropping down to Super Featherweight to chase world titles.About Josh Padley: Record: 17-1 Division: Super Featherweight / Lightweight Known for: Upset victory over Mark Chamberlain and going 9 rounds with Shakur Stevenson.⏱️ Chapters: 00:00:00 The Phone Call That Changed My Life Forever00:00:40 Welcome to The SchuZ Show: Josh Padley Interview00:01:10 Preparing for European Title Fight Week00:02:13 The Mark Chamberlain Breakout Moment at Wembley00:03:13 Advice for Boxers Waiting for Their Big Shot00:04:16 False Promises and Returning to the 9-to-500:05:39 The Brutal Business Side of Professional Boxing00:06:45 Why I Risked My Undefeated Record for Shakur Stevenson00:07:50 Earning Respect: My Mindset Inside the Ring00:08:55 What It’s Really Like Fighting Shakur Stevenson00:10:25 Using a World Title Loss as a Confidence Booster00:12:06 Balancing Full-Time Work with Pro Boxing00:13:30 Almost Quitting the Sport Before the Big Call00:15:39 The Difference Between Working Class and Full-Time Athlete00:16:50 Why I Chose a Trade and Became an Electrician00:17:46 Moving Down in Weight: The Decision to Fight at 13000:19:54 Settling Into the Super Featherweight Division00:21:23 Reaction to Controversial Scorecards vs Reese Bellotti00:22:10 The Reality of Judging Problems in Boxing00:23:24 Developing a Technical Mastery Fighting Style00:25:28 What a European Title Means for My Legacy00:26:01 Breaking Down the Upcoming Fight on January 31st00:27:18 The Shift from Being the Hunter to the Hunted00:28:12 Rapid Fire Fight Predictions: Kelly vs Metcalf & More00:29:34 Is Shakur Stevenson a Top 5 Pound-for-Pound Talent?00:31:11 Predicting Keyshawn Davis and Shushon Carrington00:32:41 Josh Padley’s Official Prediction for the European Title00:34:22 Potential Domestic Fights at 135 in the Future00:35:05 How One Phone Call Changes Everything in Boxing00:36:02 Grit and Determination: Josh Padley’s LegacyConnect With Zach and The SchuZ Show Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@zachschumaker/featuredFollow Zach "SchuZ" Schumaker: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachschumaker/ X: https://x.com/ZachSchumaker Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zach.schuz.schumaker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zachschumaker LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachschumaker/The SchuZ Show: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschuzshow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheSchuZShow/About The SchuZ Show: The SchuZ Show delivers unfiltered boxing news, fight predictions, and elite basketball analysis.
