Ep. 17 — Lou Savarese

Michael is joined by former heavyweight boxing champion Lou Savarese, who fought some of the biggest names in the sport: Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Buster Douglas and Riddick Bowe. A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, Savarese reeled off 36 consecutive victories to begin his professional career and went on to win both the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title and the IBA Heavyweight title. Savarese, who also dabbled in acting and made a cameo appearance on The Sopranos, retired from fighting in 2007 with a record of 46 wins (38 KOs) and 7 losses.
