Boxing: Callum Peters has announced his professional debut but aims to juggle commitments to Commonwealth and Olympic games.
“Just sat alone, and in custody,” he recounts, “thinking ‘why are you wasting your life?’.”More than he appeared that night in lock up, too.
More than simply looking to upset the Commonwealth Games silver medallist, and latest fighter signed to the Australian promotional stable, Rose insists he can go all the way to a national title, and then further again. A fighter who took up the gloves in his early teens and quickly found success, winning a national title around the same time his local cafe named a chocolate bar in honour of him.However, apart from carrying power and genuine talent, Rose has also lumped – for years – a hurt that first arrived aged 14, after losing his father Michael to cancer.
“So there was a few years there where I fell off the rails,” Rose starts of history that saw him “spend time going through the courts, assaults, doing stupid s… and making mistakes I’m not proud of”.“Growing up, mum wasn’t around.“So when he passed, I was still only 14 … I started getting suspended at school, then expelled in Year 10 for a big fight, where the other kid got hospitalised.
