00:00My name is Edward Hardy, I'm 22 years old and we're a fourth generation farmer on a
00:10mixed farm and also a professional boxer.
00:17I'm lucky to get a bit of time off through the day to train as well as farming and we
00:23catch up with our jobs when we get back and I can also get training around the farm doing
00:28different jobs such as flipping the tyres, squatting the bikes when we're feeding up
00:33and different jobs such as stone picking off the fields and things like that.
00:42They also do a bit of rocky training, you can chase the chickens.
00:49I'd like to keep boxing and keep farming as well and hopefully they'll play side by side
00:54together and with the boxing I just want to see how far I can get, try and win as many
01:00titles as I can and just keep climbing up the ranks to the top and then also still farming.
