Boxing Cult Hero Butterbean Esch Loses More Than 200 Pounds

During the public weigh-in, Butterbean stepped onto the scale and was found to weigh 303.8 pounds, an impressive achievement considering his previous weight.

In an interview with The Sun last year, Butterbean opened up about his struggles, stating, “I went through a stage where I was looking at the end of my life — not that I was going to kill myself, but in my life, I was getting down, I was way overweight and just feeling down. I didn’t know if I had a couple of years to live or not.”
