WBO champ Heather Hardy blasts boxing's gender pay gap

For five years, Heather Hardy has slept on the couch in her tiny New York apartment. Rents in New York are high and the incomes of women’s boxers, even the best of them, are painfully low.

Hardy is raising a 15-year-old daughter, holds a full-time job, and is an unbeaten world champion boxer preparing to face an opponent who is not only regarded as one of the finest pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, but who has world titles in seven weight classes.
