Episode Details

In this episode, Brenden Escott dives into Edmonton’s growing boxing scene with IBC Light Heavyweight Champion Ethan Halabi and local fight analyst Dan Jones.

At just 20 years old, Halabi is already making serious noise out of Alliance Boxing Club. He joins us to talk about his journey into the sport, the transition from amateur to pro and how his training and mindset have evolved as he climbs the ranks. We also get into what it means to fight in front of a hometown crowd at River Cree Resort and Casino and how that energy fuels his performance.

Jones brings his perspective on what sets Halabi apart, the intangibles that casual fans might miss and the overall health of Edmonton’s boxing community—one that continues to build momentum with every card.

Plus, we preview Halabi’s upcoming May 9 bout and what fans can expect when he steps back into the ring.

Whether you’re a diehard boxing fan or just getting into the local fight scene, this is a great conversation on rising talent, discipline and the fight game in Alberta
