From MKR to the boxing ring

What was meant to be a fun throw-away line during a breakfast radio interview has quickly turned into 7HO FM’s Mick Newell heading for the boxing ring with the son of a Golden Gloves champion.

Tasmanian Leader of the Opposition Will Hodgman was on the 7HO FM breakfast show as a part of the state election discussions when Mick said “I love to plant one on a politician, do you want to have a go in the Ring Will?” to which Will replied with “Yes, anything for the cause.”

Whilst the date is still to be set, it is agreed that the one off Bout will take place before Tasmania heads to the polls on March 15, and will be used to raise Money for a local charity.
 
Mick Newell said: “I have never pulled on boxing gloves before and I know Will was a good boxer at school, so this one might bite me on, or at least land me on my ass.”
