Coco Sports Talk: Fathers Day Special - Tyson and John Pedro
Coco Sports Talk with Penina and Ashley - covering all things sports from a Pasifika female lens!
#CocoSportsTalk looks at the many stories of Pasifika people involved in sports of all kinds, and the trials and tribulations of the talented athletes from all sectors of our community.
This episode is Part 1 of our Fathers Day - Fighters edition mini series. Light Heavyweight UFC fighter Tyson Pedro and his father John sat down with us at City Kickboxing Gym in Auckland ahead of Tysons fight in Salt Lake City against Harry Hunsucker. (He won the fight btw - peep the KO below).
They have a hilarious conversation with us about Fatherhood, parenting styles, proud Dad moments, what they love to do together and much more.
Check out more on Tyson when he shared a bit of his world with us at the beginning of his UFC journey here & the time Jorge Masvidal visited Mark Hunt & had a chat with Tyson and Andrew Fifita and John introduced him to Samoan food here.
