From Samoan Gangster to Pro Boxer (7-0 KOs) | Melbourne Redemption | Jonno

Описание: PHATT TV Podcast sits down with Jonno — a Samoan brother from Southeast Melbourne who lived a chaotic life that nearly took everything… then rebuilt from the ground up.
We talk real-life consequences, prison realities, the mental battle of addiction, and the exact moment he decided he was done. Today, Jonno is a professional boxer (7-0, all KOs) training under Team Hatton, focused on discipline, family, and purpose.

This episode is not about glorifying crime — it’s about warning the next generation and showing that change is possible.
