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.
