On Oct. 22, Edison Miranda will enter the ring to face Francisco Sierra for the NABO Super Middleweight Championship. Miranda has had a real rough life, when he was just a month old his mother abandoned him, leaving him with someone who would abuse him both physically and mentally.

When he was 9, Miranda set off to look for his mom only to be abandoned a second time. In this video, we catch up with Miranda at Joe Goossen's gym and talk to him about life, boxing and much more.

Ricky Funez knows boxing. He's been around the sport for nearly 20 years, working alongside such legends as Joe Goossen, Freddie Roach, Sugar Shane Mosley and James Toney, just to name a few.

But Ricky doesn't only work with stars, he dedicates lots of his time working with young fighters, especially gang members living in LA's San Fernando Valley by getting them off the streets and into the gym.

He does this because he knows all too well what the life of a gang member is all about. In this exclusive video, we visit Funez as he trains 15-year-old boxing prodigy and nephew Juan Funez at the Goossen gym in Van Nuys.
