Edward Hardy is a fourth-generation farmer from Doncaster, but his dream is to become a boxing world champion.

The 22-year-old, who is nicknamed The Farm Boy in the ring, will make his professional debut in Sheffield on Friday night.

Edward is a two-time national amateur champion and has been balancing boxing with work on his family's farm since he took up the sport aged eight.

He has been tipped for a bright future between the ropes, but has no plans to turn his back on his roots.
