Post-footy, Anthony co-founded Moonyah Workforce—a labour-hire and traffic control business driven by purpose.

In Episode 20 of Scoreboard, host Chris Titley chats with professional boxer Connie Chan about her unorthodox path into the sport, starting at age 32, and her relentless pursuit of becoming a world champion.

Connie shares how she accidentally stumbled into boxing while helping coach beginners—and ended up falling in love with the discipline, challenge, and growth it offers. She opens up about the highs and lows of fight prep, being her own toughest critic, and why she gives herself a “pity party” after losses (but only for an hour).

From panic attacks to torn shoulders, from hiding her boxing career from friends to becoming a national titleholder, Connie’s story is a raw, powerful reminder that it’s never too late to go all in on a dream.

🔥 A must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt behind, doubted themselves, or wondered if they started too late.
