BHL: Black Sports Weekly - In this episode Black Hollywood Live hosts Thaddeus Massey and Charlotte Broadbent interview Michelle Joy Phelps.

A native to Southern California, Michelle Joy Phelps had her eyes set on success for as long as she can remember. Moving to Los Angeles at the age of 21, she left home with only $300 in her pocket along with a dream many would call "impossible." 
At a young age, Michelle knew she had a future in entertainment. Interviewing invisible guests in the mirror, unannounced she was preparing herself for the very thing she'd call "destiny" as an adult. 
Before Boxing, Miss Phelps graced the pages of various domestic and international magazines such as Maxim, FHM, Open your Eyes, Atomic Dogg, Sport Magazine and various Catalogs. She was featured in Commercials, TV gigs and music videos before stumbling upon the very thing she least expected; boxing reporting. 

After meeting and gaining the support of several boxing insiders, her knowledge shocked many people and it wasn't long before she was being encouraged to get involved in the sport but in front of the camera. Boxing had been a family favorite in the Phelps household and Michelle's passion for the sport was natural. Though, it was the very thing she thought she wouldn't be doing. After taking a leap of faith, letting go of her acting agent and manager, she decided to focus solely on boxing and establishing herself in an entirely new field of entertainment.  After offering to work for free for various boxing websites, Michelle took a leap of faith and developed her own boxing website, turning pink gloves into her trademark;www.BehindTheGloves.com was created. 
Months into development, Michelle saw a rise of numbers visiting her site and soon found herself amongst some of the top websites providing constant coverage on boxing, traveling all over the world interviewing the elite of boxing including Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Andre Ward, Amir Khan, Canelo Alvarez and many, many more!
