This week on Sports Will Save Us All, Brooke Evans joins Sasha to share her extraordinary journey from addiction and adversity to becoming a professional boxer and bare knuckle fighter. Brooke opens up about how stepping into the ring taught her to channel her energy, rebuild her confidence, and embrace the mental discipline that competition demands.

Brooke talks about the unique rush of bare knuckle fighting ("like skydiving," she says), the mental preparation that keeps her centered before each bout, and the emotional crash that often follows the high of fight night. She also reflects on the power of support systems, from her tight-knit circle of friends to the inspiration she draws from her teenage son.

In this conversation, Brooke discusses how her past struggles with addiction fuel her determination—not only to succeed in the sport she loves, but to help others who are walking a similar path. She shares her dream of launching a nonprofit to support children in foster care and kids with incarcerated parents, a mission rooted deeply in her own lived experience.

Brooke also speaks candidly about gratitude, personal growth, and the strength she's found alongside other women in sports. Her story is a reminder that while the fight may be brutal, the resilience forged along the way can be life-changing.
