About this listen
O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit step outside the football world and into the ring with comedy writer Josh Corey, who took on one of the most unlikely challenges imaginable — becoming a boxer with zero experience.
Josh shares the story behind his podcast From Writer to Fighter, documenting his journey from Hollywood writer to stepping into a real fight. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into something much deeper — a test of discipline, identity, and resilience.
In this episode, the guys dive into:
- Why Josh decided to train for a real boxing match at 37
- Learning he could actually take a punch (and keep going)
- Breaking his nose in three places — and still fighting
- The emotional impact on his family, especially during his mom’s battle with cancer
- How boxing and storytelling surprisingly mirror each other
- The challenge of turning real-life pain into a compelling podcast
They also mix in some NFL talk, Josh’s love for football, and his all-time favorite Miami Dolphin.
