  • The Spotlight Hour: Strength Beyond Sport
    2026/05/23
    On this episode of The Spotlight Hour Podcast: Strength Beyond Sport, legendary fight-world cutman, Jacob “Stitch” Duran, brings the kind of stories only he can tell, from working with Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Wladimir Klitschko, and Mike Tyson, to the real moments in his own life that shaped the man fighters trust most. Stitch opens up in a way fight fans rarely hear, mixing grit, humour, and some deeply personal memories that show exactly why he’s still speaking out about fighter safety. Olympian Christina Smith adds her own lived experience as a trailblazer in women's bobsleigh, sharing what long‑term concussion has meant for her and why she’s now standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Stitch to push for safer sport. Two powerful voices, one purpose, and a conversation that cuts through the noise with honesty and heart.
