this is amazing—WNYC has a whole podcast of women boxers leading up to the Olympics. love. so much love.
I’ve spent a good chunk of time in a boxing gym, and I have such love for the sport, and the men and women who do it.
“If you can get hit, and hit a person back, you have to have heart.”
Also, this is fucking excellent radio. And I’m a radio nerd. With the help of a good friend, rediscovering just how much lately, too.
Listen to this all the way to the end and I dare you not to have tears in your eyes.
