  • Tiernan Bradley
    Jan 31 2025

    Tiernan Bradley is currently undefeated as a professional boxer and he has set his sights on major titles in 2025. On the episode, Tiernan talks me through his journey growing up in County Tyrone, winning countless Irish titles as well as claiming European and Commonwealth medals in the amateur ranks. He also discusses his adventures in countries such as Russia, Samoa and the USA . During the journey there have been long periods of inactivity which ultimately left Tiernan having to lose over 30kg's to get to the point where he could restart his career as a professional boxer in late 2020. In the last 4 years he has moved to 10-0 in the pro ranks, moved to Brighton, sparred world class fighters and is currently backed by GBM promotions. We also chat about future plans and his goals going forward.
