About this listen

 Life is all about triumph and tragedy. You can’t have one without the other – that’s just the contract we’ve signed in return for this short time we have here. Resilience isn’t only about bouncing back. It’s about bouncing back stronger.

In The Good Fight, Harry Garside, Australia’s ballet dancing boxing star, offers a raw account of his journey through sport, unexpected challenges and personal growth. Harry opens up about his remarkable journey with wit and wisdom, and offers a refreshing perspective on masculinity, sharing his struggles, triumphs, and moments of profound self-discovery.

Having won both gold and bronze medals at the Commonwealth and Tokyo Olympic games respectively, and playing a starring role at the 2024 Olympics, Harry is one of Australia’s stand-out boxing talents.

Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt poetry, Garside invites readers to see beyond the stereotypes, offering a nuanced exploration of identity, resilience, and showing how to be comfortable in your own skin.
