This week on More Than a Match we sit down with professional boxer Joe Collins, known for being Ricky Hatton’s long-time sparring partner and even working as Robbie Savage’s personal security during his playing days!
Joe gives us a raw insight into the life of a fighter, from cutting extreme weight, to the mental battles behind closed doors, to the reality of grinding through the small-hall boxing scene. He tells us what it was really like training with Hatton, the madness he experienced while working around football, and the lessons he took from both worlds.
We also dive into Joe’s explosive entry into the online boxing world, as he reveals why he’s willing to fight on Misfits for FREE and donate every penny to The Ricky Hatton Foundation. He tells us who he wants first, why he’s ready to shake up the influencer boxing scene, and how this opportunity could change everything.
