Season2: #30 Billy Schwer

Billy Schwer was a world class lightweight who fought the likes of Rafael Ruelas, Stevie Johnston, Colin Dunne and many more.

In all, he boxed 45 times as a professional, eventually winning the IBO title at light-welterweight.

Now a motivational speaker who has found his happy place in life, he's an inspiration, a man who hit rock bottom and contemplated suicide who now wants to live to be 130 years old.
