The Mundine KO, playing first grade footy, battles with mental health | Kenty Prime Time EP027
Description
This week on Kenty Prime Time with Kenty and Johnny, the boys sit down with one of the toughest and most fearless athletes Australia has produced – Garth Wood. From the footy field to the boxing ring, Garth’s story is raw, honest, and real.
A former NRL player with stints at South Sydney Rabbitohs and Balmain Tigers, Garth later shocked the sporting world when he switched codes to boxing – and didn’t just compete, he conquered. His biggest claim to fame? Defeating Anthony Mundine in a knockout upset, cementing his place in Australian sporting history.
Garth opens up about the highs, the struggles, and the unfiltered truth of life as a professional athlete in two brutal sports. No topic is off-limits – this is Garth Wood like you’ve never heard him before.
