Danny Green: anti-violence, raising a boxer and the night at sea he thought was his last.
Listen now
Description
There's no doubt that Danny Green is a legend of Australian sport. He's the only Australian boxer to win FOUR world titles across three different weight divisions, and he's also represented his country at Commonwealth and Olympic games level. But that's just the start! Danny is highly respected in the community for his philanthropy and his passion for supporting people from all walks of life. Since 2012 Danny has dedicated himself to (and self-funded) his anti-violence movement, the Coward Punch campaign, and has successfully prevented countless senseless and unnecessary attacks on helpless victims. Since Danny started using the term Coward Punch, it has rapidly replaced ‘one-punch’ and ‘king hit’ in the Australian vernacular used to describe these often deadly attacks, and it's even now used in the courtroom. This conversation is full of laughter as we get some amazing insight in to Danny's friendship with Anthony Mundine, his parenting style and the times in his life that he's been the most terrified (spoiler alert: that story is hands-down the funniest part of the episode)!
