We’ve got a cracking episode of the podcast today where our main focus is on boxing – and a man who is determined to make his mark in more ways than one.

Martin Stark is the brains and driving force behind the first-ever World Gay Boxing Championships, which are set to be held in Sydney, Australia in 2023.

Some fight nights and test events are coming up in the not-too-distant future – and on the show today, we’re hearing all about how Martin has made the Championships happen.

It’s a journey that has had more than its fair share of challenges – from living with illness and overcoming near-death experiences; to taking a risk and trying something new; to driving through change and trying to create something from nothing.

But one thing that comes through clearly is Martin’s passion for the sport; for building inclusion; and making a lasting impression with these championships.
