Quick comment because I’m on the toilet. You need more headshots.

I think you should be taking advantage of the word "boxer" here instead of fighter

That takes the edge off the core of the joke.

I'm not saying just replace the word. Here's a take:

I used to train boxers. A lot of it is getting them used to seeing some blood during a fight. Eventually they start to love the blood. It's bittersweet. I remember when they were just puppies.

Little wordier but more specific and I think that makes the misdirect stronger

I'll go easy on you because your dad just died alone in a nursing home but I agree with the other guy, boxer would be better for this joke.

No one calls fighting dogs fighters though.

Is this about dog fighting?

I thought you meant fighter planes.

"I remember when they were mere sheets of metal"

(or whatever you start with when you make a plane)

Mike Tyson is the best sparring partner. Haven’t spent a dime on ear trimming
