We sit down with Leeds journeyman Joe Hardy — known in the game as “The Test” — for an honest conversation about the realities of life in professional boxing and what it truly means to live the away corner life. Joe reflects on fighting at Leeds First Direct Arena against Corey Sagar, his journey through the professional ranks so far, and the lessons learned along the way. True to his nickname, Joe talks about what it means to test young prospects, bringing real rounds, pressure, and experience into the ring. He also discusses his upcoming plans, staying active, and the influence of his trainers Nick and Colin Manners, whose guidance and experience have played a major role in shaping his career and mindset. From big arena nights to small hall graft, this is a real insight into the discipline, resilience, and mentality required to keep moving forward in the fight game. 🥊 Subscribe for more real boxing stories, long-form interviews, and behind-the-scenes access from the gyms and the people who keep the sport alive. #Boxing #JoeHardy #TheTest #BoxingInterview #LeedsBoxing #JourneymanLife #AwayCorner #BritishBoxing #NickManners #ColinManners #BoxingLife #CombatSports #LeedsBoxingPromo
