❤️ 🥊 So this happened yesterday

Im so incredibly proud of these men for stepping in the ring tonight.

There will be some more photos and videos coming out later, but I just wanted to say this while this feeling is fresh.

The ammount of work, networking and determination these guys have put in, is inspiring! There have been fights fall through, cancelled matches and postpones, but they didn't give up.

The has overcome massive adversities, and the reliance he has shown, is truly remarkable!

Talk about dedication, Luke has been working with Phil since the very start, and even jumped in the ring, to go all the way with him, this is above and beyond the call of duty.

The CHG team showed up in force to support our boys. When i arrived and saw CHG team members helping out cooking the bbqs, my heart was melting.

This Business can be very hard at the best of times, but tonight is one of those nights that makes it all worth it.

Tomorrow Morning team chg is attending another event in Ballarat, leaving at 8:30am for those that would like to come to a mental health walks and bbq.

This is why, I do this, im so incredibly proud!

“Edit Due to 40 degree weather forecast on Sat 24 Jan we have moved Spar Wars 2 to SAT 31 JAN”

Things moved quickly on this one.

This weekend, Phil “Boxing yak” Hulands will be getting in the ring with Bradd Smith, who he’s been training alongside. As part of the day, Luke “Coach” will step in with Amed, Brad’s coach.

This was never about chasing a fight, it’s about Phil being able to compete in the sport that he loves.

The Yak stays ready 🦬🥊
The climb continues.

Two of our boys and Luke and are having their first little play on Saturday night at

If you would like to come down as part of the CHG team please let us knkw and we can all go up together, and if you're interested in having a spar please head over to their page and register

Lets show some support to our boys 🙏

We are looking for some exhibition fights, and then an amateur fight for our boy the Boxing yak

Unfortunately we have lined up a few fights, but they keep falling through, much to the disappointment of Phil.

Wheel chair boxing (Disability) in Australia is extremely hard to find matches. Even if we can find some sparring partners that don't want to fight, just to get him some experience, we would be grateful.

Please use your networks, and lets collab on some sessions to get Phil where he needs to be.

We would also be interested in taking on sponsors, and donations to help Phil travel overseas where wheelchair boxing is more prevalent, so he can achieve his dreams as we are a free mental health and disability community gym, and thats not in our capacity.

He has an amazing inspirational story and has come so far, we want to make this happen!

We appreciate any connections, networks, referrals and advice we can get 🙏🥊
