Firehawk Strength

VICTORY! 🏆🥊🏉

What a way to finish an incredible season

At nearly 40, I’ve somehow managed to come out the other side with a boxing victory AND a Grand Final victory 😎

None of it happens alone.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s trained alongside me, coached me, supported me and been in my corner throughout this journey.

And especially to my wife Courtney Hawkins, who holds down the fort and gives me the support that allows me to keep chasing ridiculous challenges like these 💜

Whatever your age or ability, never stop challenging yourself.

This one’s for the oldies 💪😎

Straight from the boxing ring back into finals footy 😂🥊🏉

Hell of a battle with the boys on Sunday, getting it done 28–26 and booking ourselves a spot in the Grand Final
🔴🟢⚪️

One more game. One more job to do

Grand Final bound!
🦅 🔥 💪

6 minutes of war 🥊🔥

These photos tell the story well.

We both landed. We both wore some. And neither of us took a backwards step 😂

Ethan, I have nothing but respect for you stepping through those ropes with me brother. It takes some balls!

That was one hell of an experience. One I’ll never forget.

Stay in the fight 🥊

14 weeks of preparation for 6 minutes of work 🥊

And we got the win!

But this experience was about a lot more than getting my hand raised.

Juggling boxing preparation alongside a full footy season wasn’t easy, but I kept showing up.

I trained when I was tired, got punched in the face more times than I care to remember 😂 but kept learning and moving forward.

When the time came to step under the lights, I knew I’d done the work.

A massive thank you to coach David Rangi Thomas and the entire team at Revolution Training Centre for the knowledge, preparation and support throughout this journey.

And to my wife, friends and everyone who got behind me along the way.
Thank you 💜

There’s something powerful about putting yourself in situations that challenge you.

You don’t always come out the other side the same person who went in.

Stay in the fight 🥊🔥

Tonight, we go to work 🥊
See you under the lights 🔥

Sometimes the best days are the simple ones.

Yesterday I had the privilege of joining my eldest daughter on her school excursion to Capricorn Caves

Between the climbing, the laughs and the conversations, it was a reminder that being present is one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids.

Work is important. Training is important. But these moments matter too 💜

It takes courage to step into the ring in front of your family, friends and teammates. But the greatest battles are against the demons that no one else can see.

It’s time to SHOW UP 🔥

In just two weeks on August 15th, I’ll be stepping into the ring at Rockhampton Charity Boxing. Not just to fight, but to show up for the good men battling their demons every single day.

Now I’m asking you to show up too.

Bring your friends, bring your family, make some noise, and let’s pack out The Great Western in support of an incredible cause.
