Josh Corey: From Comedy Writer to Getting Punched in the Face

Josh Corey: From Comedy Writer to Getting Punched in the Face

Author: O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit April 14, 2026 Duration: 51:25

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.

Pull up a chair and settle in for the kind of stories usually reserved for the locker room or a late-night film session. The Fish Tank: Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep is that rare sports podcast that feels less like an interview and more like you’ve been invited to hang out with the team. Hosted by Dolphins all-time great O.J. McDuffie and co-host Seth Levit, each episode brings a different voice from Dolphins Nation into the conversation-be it a legendary former player, a key piece of team personnel, or a seasoned South Florida media member. The result is a dynamic mix of perspectives, where discussions can pivot from insightful, thoughtful analysis of the game to absolutely hilarious, behind-the-scenes anecdotes in a heartbeat. What you’re hearing are the authentic, unfiltered tales that never make the highlight reel: the pranks, the road trip mishaps, the pivotal moments in franchise history, and the personal bonds formed over years of shared grind. This podcast thrives on depth and authenticity, offering fans a genuine connection to the team’s past and present. For anyone who lives and breathes Dolphins football, or simply loves the rich, human stories that exist within professional sports, this is your direct line to the heart of the franchise. The atmosphere is always relaxed, the chemistry between hosts and guests is palpable, and every conversation promises a new, memorable dive into what it truly means to be part of this organization.
