ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn’t be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made successes in life, and also made huge cock-ups, I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful, or at least start your pursuit. My ‘Study’ has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception of, successful people - and I know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My ‘Study’ coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well-rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

How David Smith MBE Went From Paralympic Gold Medalist to Battling a Recurrent Tumour - His Incredible Story of Resilience, Growth and Discovering Life's Deeper Meaning

Steven talks to boxing legend Bryant Jennings about his upcoming fight in Philadelphia, his belief in the law of attraction, and his thoughts on the changing landscape of boxing.

Bryant reflects on his past fights against Klitschko and shares insights on potential future matchups. The conversation delves into the complexities of the boxing world, touching on the misconceptions about money in the sport and the challenges faced by fighters in managing their finances

Key Takeaways


Money in boxing is not evenly distributed, with only the top fighters making substantial amounts.


The perception of boxers being wealthy is often a misconception, as many fighters struggle financially.


The current boxing landscape has fewer fighters making more money, compared to the past where more fighters shared the earnings.


Managing money wisely is crucial for boxers, as financial success is not solely dependent on earnings but also on financial management.


Only the top superstars in boxing, such as Canelo and AJ, are able to secure significant financial rewards, while others may struggle to make ends meet.

BEST MOMENTS

"You always have to speak things into existence and never speak of any doubt." 

"I think he's complete. He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." 

"I think that taking a different route, a little shortcut, is a better option for me." 

"He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." 

"The rise of Saudi Arabia and the money... Is that a good thing for boxing?"

"A young kid texted me the other day on LinkedIn and said, Arch, I'm just starting out as a boxer. I had a go about sponsorship. I said, mate, it's an odd one."

"I'm not too sure if you can make your chin more durable because I've always had a great chin in regards to sparring."
