“My name is Heather ‘The Heat’ Hardy, and I gave everything I had to boxing,” said Hardy in her GoFundMe campaign. “A Brooklyn fighter, single mother, WBC International champion, and former WBO Featherweight World Champion, I built my career the hard way—round by round, fight by fight, often while working and raising my daughter. I fought in an era when women had to force doors open, and I always tried to give fans championship moments they’d never forget.”
