On this episode, hosts Geoffrey Luna and Jonathan Gonzalez sit down with professional boxer George “El Yuyu” Acosta to discuss the ins and outs of his boxing career.

We'll also explore the business side of boxing, George's YouTube channel, and his inspiring journey from a young boxer to a professional athlete. Join us as we uncover the passion, dedication, and personal journey of George Acosta in this captivating episode of Real Moves.

George Acosta grew up in a family that had a passion for boxing, with his mother being supportive despite the violent nature of the sport. His father also encouraged his pursuits, allowing George to give boxing a try after his older brother had already taken it up. Though there was some initial disagreement with his mother when he was younger, George's family ultimately supported his interest in the sport. This early exposure to boxing and his family's acceptance laid the foundation for George's future career in the ring.
