EP111 Commission Flats to World Title | Barry Michael

<p>Roll with the punches, you say... well here's someone who's done that a time or two. &nbsp;All the way to earning himself the 1985 IBF Superfeatherweight Title. &nbsp;My mate Barry Michael is not just a world champion boxer, but an absolute gentleman who shares not just the punches he rolled inside the ring over the years; &nbsp;but today he shares some of the punches he rolled outside that square circle too.</p> <p>From being raised in commission flats to the fighting on the world stage. I loved hearing about barry’s boxing career and the places it took him across the globe. &nbsp;The training, the lessons, the fighers, the glory of boxing back in the 1908's.</p> <p>Barry also shares with us, the time underworld crime figure Alphonse Gangitano tried to bite his cheek off in a brutal attack that became a scene on the Australian Underbelly Series and that subsequently ended Barry’s boxing career. He also opens up a little on the heartbreaking struggle of his son Zac's Crystal Meth addiction and the havoc the Australian drug epidemic wreaks on families and relationships.</p> <p>If you're a boxing fan you will LOVE this episode... if you're not a boxing fan you will LOVE this episode.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p> <p>Tiffanee Cook | www.rollwiththepunches.com.au | @tiffaneeandco | @rollwiththepunches_podcast</p> <p>EPISODE SPONSOR Rankin Business Lawyers | www.rankinbusinesslawyers.com</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/roll-withthepunches/message
