Video: Inside the Mind of a Brooklyn Boxer

Revel New York has released another video in their amazing series, which profiles all sorts of New Yorkers. You already met the Pigeon Lady, but they've also talked to Hester Diamond (Mike D's mom) and now their latest piece delves into the world of Brooklyn boxer Danny Jacobs.

Born and raised in Brownsville, he's currently 18-0 with 15 knockouts and a contender for middleweight championship in the coming months. "Jacobs has been compared to Mike Tyson due to his savage beatings and quick assaulting knockouts, but unlike Tyson, when Jacobs is outside of the ring, he's a self described 'mama's boy and family man,' who's looking to be New York City's iconic sports figure."
