Garth Wood

+Garth Wood knocked out Anthony Mundine in 2010

and I got him to throw a few punches at me, all of which he thankfully missed on purpose, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.

Garth grew up tough on the mean streets of Redfern (when they were meaner and there were no hipsters and tapas bars) and after a career in footy he found his salvation in boxing.

MUA Michelle Dube had an opportunity to shoot with the man and I jumped at it. There was no "tough guy" attitude from Garth which was refreshing and he spoke freely about his fears and dreams.

I wish him all the best in his career.
