What is fear like for professional boxers? Is fear different for them than anxiety? What kind of coping strategies do boxers put in place to understand, contrast or even use fear and anxiety?

In this Martial Attitude Voice podcast episode, we can listen to Masood Abdulah: professional featherweight boxer, 7 wins over 7 fights, 3 by KO. He was the record breaker as an amateur in having the most fights with 34 bouts within 2.5 years, he was the fastest person to win the National Elite Title ever, and he was the first person to win the NBA Elite title in 23 years in London.  

Originally from Afghanistan, Masood first arrived in London as a refugee and his immense drive brought him to thrive in boxing overcoming incredible odds. A story to be listen to. A champion in the making.
