In this episode, we sit down with the legendary Fred Brophy — tent boxing promoter, fourth-generation showman and the last of his kind. From Canberra to the Birdsville Races, Fred’s been dodging the law, fists and bullets all while keeping an Aussie tradition going longer than most of us have been alive. Funny, raw, and 100% Aussie – this is a MUST listen. You’ll hear: Fred's first sideshow, the "Mice Circus". The tale of the "Bad Brothers". Why after more than 40 years, his "wife" won't marry him. How he lost 2 of his fingers. Jump in the ring, hit play and ‘square up’ for a round with a true Aussie icon.
