Former Olympic bronze medalist Tony Jeffries has a very active social media presence. He constantly connects with the fans and offers them insights about the sport. The celebrated British amateur boxer was undefeated in his professional boxing career, but had to give it up because of several hand injuries and also suffered several knocks on the head.

His personal experience with boxing-related injuries has led him to advocate for safety in the sport, regularly commenting on the physical and mental toll it can take on athletes. He also uses his platform to react to online boxing videos while sharing his views regarding the danger inherent in fighting. Recently, a viral video left Tony Jeffries in shock as he tried to comprehend the situation.

Tony Jeffries considers this ridiculous

Jeffries came across a viral TikTok clip captioned, “Husband and Wife Agree to Boxing Match,” which left him both stunned and concerned. In the video, the husband appeared to be taking the fight far too seriously, landing punches with force that alarmed the Olympic medalist. While seeing the man take shots at his wife, Jeffries remarked, “Oh, this guy’s going for it. That is crazy, now what is all of this about!” with wide eyes trying to make sense of the situation. The UK-born boxer was equally surprised to see the wife participating in the fight while wearing high heels, which made the situation even more perplexing. “Look at her with high heels on, jumping around,” stated Sunderland native as the wife ran back to Turnbuckle to save herself.

The 9-0-1 boxer then shut down the video as he wanted to know the reason behind these two fighting. Tony Jeffries was also critical of the husband and implied that boxing like that can result in serious injuries. “I can’t believe he is actually going for it the way he is. Body Punches, Head Punches. Maybe this guy does not wanna have babies. And that is why he is trying to do this. Ridiculous!” lamented Tony Jeffries exasperatingly.

According to the former Olympian, the body punches and the force behind them could have seriously injured the wife and could have had long-lasting side effects. By the end of the video, his disapproval was clear as he shook his head in disbelief.

Tony Jeffries has always been a strong advocate for safe boxing practices. He encourages non-professional boxers to engage in the sport for fitness but in a controlled and safe environment. Jeffries has consistently promoted boxing as a fitness routine that, if done properly, can offer great health benefits without risking serious injury. Last month, he even shared a video explaining to his followers how to make money by teaching boxing without needing to go pro.

How to make money via boxing?

In the video, the Mighty Mackem stated, “You don’t have to have been a boxer to be able to teach boxing,” and you can teach that as a way to promote fitness. Tony Jeffries used his example and told everyone that he has been teaching boxing for fitness for a while now and over time his charges increased “more than 15X” compared to when he started.

He broke down his whole teaching career in the video and explained how his students have gone ahead to open their own teaching centers. He promised that he would work personally with his applicants on his certification course which can help them in the future.

For him, boxing as a fitness routine can be very beneficial for non-athletes and can promote a healthy lifestyle if done right. So, rather than engaging in dangerous boxing that can leave you damaged in the long run, practicing it in a regulated environment is a safe choice.
