Description

She came from a small mining town with big dreams, a stubborn streak, and a whole lot of anger to burn. Desley "The Destroyer" Robinson was told girls don't box — so naturally, she went and became a two-time IBF/WBO World Middleweight Champion. In this episode, Neil sits down with Desley for a full-circle conversation that covers everything: growing up in Moranbah chasing athletics dreams she couldn't afford to follow, sparring full-grown men at 14, fighting for a world title on a fractured foot and what it actually felt like to win the belt she'd spent a lifetime earning. She also opens up about life after the title — signing with Jake Paul's MVP Promotions, fighting in America, and learning to finally enjoy it all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
