Britain Hart
In this Episode Of The Podcast:
“If you’re going to do something, you’re going to be there anyways… if I’m going to get punched in the face, I might as well like doing it or find something out of it. If you’re going through anything, it’s gonna suck either way—let’s try to make it the best we can.”
In this incredibly raw and transparent episode of Backbreakers and Bites, we sit down with BKFC World Champion Britain Hart at Taco Love in South Florida. Britain pulls back the curtain on a life that has been a “beautiful train wreck,” detailing her climb from a bathroom attendant for the Carolina Panthers to the face of bare-knuckle fighting. She opens up about surviving domestic violence, navigating the dark side of the boxing industry, and the spiritual healing that led her to Florida. This is a story of a woman who has seen the blackest of tunnels and came out holding the gold.
