From the mic to the main event, this episode of Sports Rap Network hits different.

Ronnie Duncan and four-time world champion Mary Jo Sanders take you inside a powerful tribute to Reverend Jesse Jackson, honoring his athletic roots as a quarterback at North Carolina A&T and his leadership journey from the field to the forefront of history. Before the movement, there was the mindset. Before the speeches, there was sports.

Then the gloves come on.

Detroit becomes the epicenter of the boxing world as the undisputed heavyweight queen Claressa “T-Rex” Shields prepares to defend her crown against unified super middleweight champion Franchón Crews-Dezurn. This isn’t just a fight — it’s legacy versus legacy.

Joining the conversation is the sharp, insightful Mika K, breaking down the cerebral side of boxing — the discipline, emotional intelligence, sacrifice, and fight IQ that separates contenders from champions. From footwork to mindset, from ring psychology to cultural impact, this episode delivers championship-level analysis.

We talk:

• Claressa Shields’ dominance and championship pedigree
• Franchón’s aggression and mental toughness
• The spiritual and intellectual depth of elite fighters
• Why Detroit is the fight capital this weekend
• And what it truly takes to win at the highest level

Monday through Friday, right here on WGPR 107.5 FM HD2 and the Sports Rap Network — because we all we got.
