From one patriot to another…the Defenders Gateway podcast with Ray Tuggle is designed to give active military, veterans and first responders a voice to tell their stories about how they’ve answered their nation’s call, and to share how they are making an impact on their families, community and nation. My name is Mike “Too Good” Wood and this is my story. Growing up I was an all around athlete. I did a lot of different sports. I became a pro in boxing two weeks after my 20th birthday. I was able to achieve a lot in short time period. At 25 years of age I lost motivation and basically retired. I then received a call with a good opportunity for all 4 major North American titles that would’ve put me in the top 5 in the world. Needless to say I wasn’t prepared. After this fight, I decided that was enough. About 4 years into my retirement I started going to a different church, Have Bible Will Travel in St. Louis, MO. This is where my coaching career began. After going to the church for about a month or so Pastor Pat Rankin approaches me and asked how I would feel about starting a boxing and exercise ministry at the church? This was the start of Too Good Boxing. This ministry has surpassed all of our initial goals. We have around 30+ people in the gym training at a time. After witnessing growth in the ministry we decided to start putting on amateur boxing events at the church which usually brings in 500+ spectators. God continues to bless me and this ministry.
