Pick up gloves, not knives."
In this heavy-hitting episode, hosts Richard and Mark are joined by Darrel McLeish, founder of the Christian Boxing Alliance (CBA). Darrel’s journey is one of radical transformation—from facing the consequences of street violence firsthand to becoming a leading voice in youth intervention through the "Sweet Science."
With knife crime continuing to impact our communities in 2026, Darrel explains how the CBA uses boxing as more than just a sport. It is a tool for discipline, emotional control, and spiritual growth. We dive into the "why" behind the violence and how a boxing ring can provide the "gang" and sense of belonging that so many young people are searching for in the wrong places.
In this episode, we discuss:
Darrel’s Journey: How faith and boxing turned a life of aggression into a life of purpose.
Emotional Regulation: Why "acting on emotion" is the biggest threat to youth today and how boxing fixes it.
The CBA Mission: Bridging the gap between the church, the gym, and at-risk youth.
Real Solutions: What Richard, Mark, and Darrel believe is actually needed to stop the knife crime epidemic.
