Heather "The Heat" Hardy is a two combat sport athlete.

The Brooklyn native is a staple in the women's boxing ranks, having won a slew of titles across her career. She is currently undefeated and holds the women's WBO featherweight champion after beating Shelly Vincent back in October 2018.

However, Hardy decided to become a mixed martial artist. Currently, signed to Bellator MMA, "The Heat" had a reality check after selling a gang of tickets for her shows and not even being televised on her boxing cards.

She has now found her spotlight in MMA.

Although she recently lost via TKO to Taylor Turner at Bellator 222 in Madison Square Garden on June 14th, 2019, she is determined to end her career in the cage and not the ring.

Heather "The Heat" Hardy - Boxer turned MMA Fighter

Dhafir "Dada 5000" is a true pioneer. 

The heavyweight hailing from one of Miami's most notorious neighborhoods took an idea to entertain and eliminate street violence and turned it into a PPV worthy product.

Literally starting from the back yard, Dada 5000 organized bare knuckle fights that first set South Florida on fire and then the world. From his Netflix documentary Dawg Fight, produced by the team behind Cocaine Cowboys, to his most recent Back Yard Brawl Extreme Fighting series, he has taken the sport of back yard brawling and bare knuckle fighting to new heights.  He also hosted its first pay-per-view event in Cheyenne, Wyoming on April 5th.

We sat with the fighter turned promoter at the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame weekend in Tampa to talk about it all!

Former American World Champion Boxer Christy ”The Coal Miner’s Daughter” Martin

Nathaniel "Nate" Campbell III is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2000 to 2014. His professional nickname was "The Galaxxy Warrior" as an homage to the gym that made him.

As an active boxer, he held the unified WBA (Super), IBF and WBO lightweight titles from 2008 to 2009, as well as having challenged for the IBF super featherweight title in 2005 and the WBO junior welterweight title in 2009.

In his fourteen years as a pro, he fought everyone from Danny Garcia, Victor Ortiz, and Tim Bradley and having survived the racially charged streets of Jacksonville, Florida, Campbell was fueled with a sense of purpose.

We caught up with this legend during his 2019 induction into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame.

Brooklyn's Polish Heavyweight Boxer Adam Kownacki

Bernard Hopkins has always been all-action both in the ring and outside of it.

With the release of the Brian Banks movie which chronicles the unjust incarceration of the falsely accused football player, the time was right to retouch base with the legend for an O.G. perspective on prison reform.

As usual, we were blessed with a wisdom and passion that is unmatched and B Hop dropped jewels that can only be described as precious.

Listen to this raw, unadulterated edit which is more like a stream of consciousness from a true Philadelphia and global icon. We present Bernard Hopkins in this PLH Special Investigative Report on prison reform.
