Calling all fighters!
Wrap up your knuckles and chew down on your mouth guards, there's an urgent call for keen boxers to join the infamous Brophy Boxing troupe this weekend at the Bedourie Camel & Pig Races for Friday 9 and Saturday 10 July.
A handful of lucky fighters will have the once in a life time chance to represent Queensland boxing legend Fred Brophy and his last of it's kind travelling boxing tent.
Would be fighters will have their travels paid for, camp with Fred and the rest of the troupe and even earn themselves a moniker from Fred.
Keen fighters should contact the Fred Brophy's Boxing Troupe Facebook page.
They better act fast though, the post calling for fighters has had more than 100 shares and 200 comments.
Fred Brophy has been on a comeback tour since the pandemic forced the tent in it's longest ever hiatus.
Digger Brophy has been working alongside Fred for more than 20 years and said the would-be fighters will be providing a show like no other.
"Fighting for Fred you get to give the locals an experience they'll remember for a lifetime," Digger said.
"We're looking for someone with some experience and can provide some entertainment."
"Fred always brings a show and Bedourie will be like every other."
Many feared that spelt the end for the Outback legend and fourth generation showman but after a sell out comeback at Beef 2021, the 68 year old has been as active as ever hosting events in Bundaberg, Cairns, Brisbane and Charters Towers.
Fred's iconic drum has events planned for the rest of the year and will be a must-go at next month's Birdsville Races.
