There’s no set road to a career in combat sports, but Britain Hart’s journey is definitely more unique than most.
The 30-year-old boxer turned bare-knuckle brawler didn’t make her professional debut until 2017, and that came after she had only been training a matter of months rather than years. Of course, Hart had been a fighter for much longer than that, though in the beginning, it wasn’t always her choice.
Until she was 11 years old, Hart grew up either on or around military bases, a self-described Air Force brat. After living in Turkey, her family relocated to Germany, where she attended school before eventually moving to Virginia, where she was around American kids for the first time in her life.
