Welcome to Below The Belt

In this episode, Gian sits down with Commonwealth champion Brad Goldsmith to explore his rise from Coventry prospect to title holder. With a deep amateur background and over 80 bouts, Brad reflects on turning pro at 21, handling pressure, and the discipline required to stay ready in a sport defined by uncertainty.

He also opens up about his move to the renowned Ingle Gym under trainer Dom Ingle, and how the environment reshaped his style from pressure fighter to adaptable boxer. Brad shares insights into elite training methods, consistency, and what it takes to keep progressing at the top level.

The conversation also dives into boxing’s business side, fight negotiations, cancellations, recovery, and longevity in the sport. Focused and grounded, Brad explains why success isn’t just about belts, but building a sustainable career and life in and out of the ring.
