This was a truly memorable moment — occurring just before Shane Mosley retired from boxing. I had the incredible opportunity to spend time with him, his father and his children. What stood out most was seeing Shane Mosley and Shane Mosley Jr. spar — a powerful father-son moment in the ring. That day was unforgettable, and it also marked my very first magazine cover.
