Speaker 1 (00:10):
My hard podcasts, hear more kids podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the Free I Hard.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hate will be having a great drive home.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Harry Garside is in the studio back in the boxing ring.
Ended up first professional boxing fight last week against Charlie
Bell in Sydney TKOO. Freeman playing at home is a
technical knockout, so the referee basically goes, I think you've
lost it.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
You're still standing, but no longer with us.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah. I kind of felt felt if it happened a
little bit earlier, I would understand it. But I kind
of felt sorry for my opponent, Charlie Bell, like I do,
think he'd probably deserved to make it to the end.
He only had three minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
This is a weird thing. We were talking about this
in the song before and we're talking about how many
rounds boxing were, and you told me that the longest
fight ever recorded was in.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Two hundred and something.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
It was like two hundred and something rounds. Wanting something
round crazy And then I said, well, how many is
it now? Thirteen? He said no, no, it's twelve, but
I wish it was fifteen. Why do you want? Why
do you want longer? Like?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Why?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I look at that it's like, okay, cool. If I
cannot go out really quickly, get the hell out of here,
that'd be great. But there's something about boxes. We You
do love the punish, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh, it's arguably the best place you can go in
the world. You feel, you feel so alive. And don't
get me wrong, I always feel like, let's say you're
not fighting, but like this sounds so silly to say,
I reckon road rage is a good thing. And the
suns like obviously obviously not getting out of the context,
obviously not getting out of your car, and like fighting someone,

(01:36):
but like letting add a bit of emotion, Like it's
nice to sort of, you know, get that frustration out,
you know, before you turns it up. That's why I
think boxing for me anyway, it's just a place where
I can go and it's an energy exchange. I release
and then I'm just neutral and I build up some
pentape energy. Let it go. Every time I fight. It's
the best and I can.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Feel it on you. Now. You feel relieved, you feel alive.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'm here.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Also, like monkeys, I'm a spinning rock in the middle
of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Up.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
It's good to do some fun things.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I love that. I love that, and I love that
you're no longer addicuously the fame or in like that.
But you are in the next season of Dancing with
the Stars, which is.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Very caught out out body can't wait for it. I
can't dance to save me life.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And we're talking before about the LA Olympics. So twenty
twenty eight is that on the cars? Is that something
you want to you want to aim for now?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm so I'm so unsure, like I'm one of the
most patriotic people you will meet, But I am very
conscious that I think I think to travel as an
Olympic athlete, you travel overseas so much, and I just
I'm really conscious that I want to be dad by
thirty five, you know, and I'm twenty seven and twenty
eight this year, and I just think when you travel
so much as an Olympic athlete, you can't foster relationships.

(02:47):
And yeah, for sure, and that's something that I am
conscious of, and but it would be hard to sort
of rule it out completely. I'm sure when it gets
closer and closer. Yeah, you just we're in that grand
and gold. There's no greater on how old will you
be thirty one, thirty one and in the boxing world,
is thirty one still a pretty good age to be Yeah,
I'd say probably up until about thirty three and then

(03:08):
you can Yeah, so like, definitely still competitive Olympic boxing
is young people. It's a lot more like average age,
probably twenty five.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Does the head knock things that to play in your
head to be down because obviously the longer that you
get hit in the head for now we know that,
you know, there's obviously some pretty horrific repercussions with that.
With everything that's going on at the moment with examining
people's brains after they've been playing contact sports, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I've definitely, I've definitely made a deal with myself
that I want to be in the sport for three
four years and I want to try and push it
as far as I can gain my respect back to
an athlete. But if I get knocked out at all
that process, I'll walk away.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh wow, Okay, being a dad, that's a wise decision.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, being a dad is way more important and you
don't want your kid, you know, I really want to
be a dad. I can't wait for that day. But
I don't want my kid getting a secondary version of
me because I've dedicated my whole life to something, you know,
and I think I think being of service to someone
as a dad would be way more more special and
way more important.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh, mate, you'll be a great dad because of that,
because you're already thinking about it. That's awesome. You seem
to be taking all of your decisions as always, with
a lot of poise and a lot of thoughts. So
it's very cool to have you in the studio as
always and get all your thoughts. You inspiring mate. Thanks
for coming in.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Thanks boys, always good to be in.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Harry Garci back on Willian, what do you hope you
want to go?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
