#049 Fighting Silence (with Callum Hancock)

Today, Stevie and Chris are joined by undefeated super middleweight boxer, Callum Hancock. 

 

Callum, from Sheffield, was bullied, sexually assaulted and raped at the age of 10. He recalls his childhood leading up to this moment, being regularly bullied and tormented by various older kids and he details what happened in his backyard den in 2001. 

 

He talks about the day he appeared face to face with his perpetrator as an adult and the emotions he felt in that moment.

Callum has utilised his own vulnerability to change not only his own life, but the lives of the many others he impacts as a public speaker. He also works at Survivors Manchester, a volunteer organisation for male survivors, helping other men, women, and kids who have been through sexual abuse. 

 

A very raw and honest chat.
