Fred Brophy - The Last of the Australian Boxing Tents

How can I host a podcast based on Aussie stories and characters and not do an episode on boxing legend Fred Brophy .

Fred was born a showman , and to this day runs the last Australian boxing tent - a travelling troupe of boxers who challange the locals for a turn in the ring for prize money . Anyone with a ticket sober enough can join in . Buit thats not the only form of entertainment - over the years Fred has had an alligator mascot who met his maker at the Cairns show but still managed to terrorize the public several years after his death . He's had strip shows , a tattooed pig and even managed to convince Pauline Hanson to moonlight as a Ring girl . Join me as I fill you in on the crazy life of one of Australia's biggest legends !

If you like the podcast and want to support it , please leave me a review on whichever platform you listen to your podcast - this helps more people find my little poddy :)
