Former boxing world champion, Heather Hardy, gives us an insight into the realities of making a living from boxing.

Hardy believes the sport still has much to do in terms of the gender pay gap and that the time has come for women to stop thanking men for opportunities to showcase their skills. Hardy says women need to co-headline big shows and admits her own career may be over. She lost her world title in her last fight and says she鈥檒l never fight again for 鈥渁 pay check that doesn鈥檛 make sense鈥�.

But she tells Caroline Barker that, despite her own struggles, boxing is a viable career choice for young girls and women that are coming through now.
