Stoked to get my hand raised against a quality opponent yesterday in my first match of 2026 and proud of the CBC boys who went 3 from 3 under the new Head Coach @ray.train on the same day Coach Kel Bryant was awarded lifetime membership to Boxing Victoria for his 30 years of service to the sport.
Thanks to everyone who down came to support + @jyebarclay for the snaps!
Solid first year competing as an amateur.
5 fights. 4 wins. 1 loss. Shame to come up short in the Novice State finalā¦ but proud of myself for getting there and putting on an exciting bout. Feeling really motivated to get back in the ring next year! Big thank you to my coach @ray.train and the CBC crew š„
Thisāll be one to rememberā¦ Last night Clarks Originals launched its first custom project in Australia with Up There Store. A story told in three parts ā the Artist, the Artisan & the Shoemaker.
Follow the journey from illustration to finished product ā passing through the hands of three gifted community members. Artwork from the imagination of Michael Kennedy, painstakingly embroidered by Anthony Wicks of Anthill Workshop, and hand-stitched back together by Chase Shiel.
14 unique pairs transformed from being a classic piece of footwear and reimagined as a canvas for artistic expression and genuine collaboration.
A huge shout out to the team behind the scenes that brought this project to life: Matt Kyte, Brendan Mitchell, James Barrett, Jason Paparoulas, Kimberley Neilsen, Charlotte MacIntyre and Colby Lathwell.
As always thank you to the community that showed up to embrace, support, and celebrate this project.
