The reality of women’s boxing from someone living it every single day.

Episode 146 welcomes undefeated 6-0 professional boxer Hannah Robinson to the podcast as we discuss women’s boxing, brain injuries, nutrition, doping in sport, boxing camps and the dream of becoming a world champion.

We open with Hannah’s championship belts before discussing the rise of women’s sports and the controversy surrounding Imane Khelif.

The episode then moves into performance enhancing drugs in boxing, inspired by the Netflix documentary Icarus, before Hannah shares her experiences transitioning from Team GB amateur boxing into the professional ranks.

We also discuss the importance of nutrition and fuelling your body correctly in combat sports, fighting at Super Lightweight, the dangers of brain injuries in boxing, and whether fighters really do take dives in the sport.

The episode finishes with conversations around boxing promoters, MVP Promotions, Eastern European dominance in fighting sports, Hannah’s future goals and when she expects to return to the ring.
