How does boxing change at 23 vs 40? Olympic bronze medalist Tony Jeffries compares his younger self at 23 with his 40‑year‑old form to show how power, speed and technique evolve over time.

In side‑by‑side mitt work and sparring clips you’ll see the blistering speed and explosive footwork of his Olympic days alongside the mistakes he made back then. Then compare it to Tony at 40 where the pace and footwork is slower, but the power is real, the technique is sharper, the stance more balanced, and the ring IQ levels above.
