Harry Garside’s dreams of winning Australia’s first Olympic boxing gold medal have been ended after a shock loss in his first bout in Paris. Fifth seed Garside, who was among the medal contenders after winning Bronze in Tokyo, fell to Hungarian Richard Kovacs by unanimous decision on Monday. The 27-year-old was distraught after the fight, calling himself a “failure” and how he fears for his mental health over the next two months. “It is crazy mate.
” When told he should be proud of being a two-time Olympian and not a failure at all, Garside was still upset. “Thank you so much Australia. It really means a lot. I know sportsmen are supposed to say the right thing right now, and thank you so much, but deep down inside, I fear what the next couple of months look like for myself,” he said. “I am sure there will be some dark times and I have to prepare for that now.
