Legacy – Season 4: Defiant | Available Monday 10th November
About this episode
Eric Morante was a boy torn between boxing and the marines when – on September 11th, 2001 – the decision became clear. Defiant traces Eric's journey to the US Marines, moving through deserts, disasters, and one life-changing day where a whole new struggle began.
It asks us to consider what can be achieved when sport is seen as therapy, when we strive to push past the limits we place on ourselves, and when community is valued above all else.
Defiant is not just a podcast about boxing – it’s about what it means to lose everything and still choose to fight.
