Justin Michael Lewis has built an unusual career path, DJing since he was twelve years old, then stepping into the boxing ring and putting together an undefeated record of his own. That combination of music and combat sports made him a natural guest for Sean Kelly's Digital Social Hour, where the conversation opens with the debate over whether YouTube boxers are ready for the pros or still overrated.
From there, the discussion covers Justin Michael Lewis's early boxing state titles, his bicoastal lifestyle balancing DJ gigs with training, and his outlook on where combat sports, and his own career, go from here.
