Super Bantam Aussie Boxer Vegas Larfield joins us for a yarn. Vegas' story on how he begun his boxing career is quite the interesting yarn as it revolved around a major decision to stop playing NRL and pursue having a swing in the ring. We discuss his style and approach to his opponents, how he took up one of his first professional fights on a major world card on short notice and run through what he aims to achieve in his boxing career in the super bantam division. We wish the best for this legend and appreciate him making the trip for the yarn. Enjoy legends!
If you're interested in sponsoring Vegas for any upcoming fights, you can reach out to him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/vegas_larfield/ or email australianathleteconnection@gmail with your enquiry.

Aussie country music singer, down to earth legend and good mate of the show Brad Cox returns for another ripper yarn. Coxy runs us through his continued growth in the country music scene, and a few integral changes he has decided to make after taking a break in his brand new Yarns and Yodels tour: a more relaxed and chilled set with some ripper laughs in between from the great man. We touch on how the legend has been working on his farm just down the road, including his vegetable garden projects and dive into some fishing chat before finishing up with some updated guest questions. Was unreal to get one of our favourite blokes back on the couch, and we're sure it won't be the last time too. Enjoy trendsetters!
