New Episode Out Now: The Waikato Warrior Cairo George Shares His NZ Boxing Story From Fighter to Coach | ShedLifeNZ Ep 13

What's it like inside the boxing game in New Zealand? From a life changing motorcycle crash, to fighting on the world stage, to coaching the next generation and being a business owner.

Cairo George talks to us about overcoming challenges through life, building his way up from a local boxer to the world stage. Carrying the name of where he's from as the power behind his punches.

We get into Cairo helping guide the next generation of boxers forward to those same world title aspirations and all the places it's taken him. Becoming a business owner and applying his boxing principles in the boardroom. As well as becoming the judge for the famous 1 minute scraps fight event and giving us a look into the behind the scenes.

Cairo George takes us through it all the good, the bad and all the lessons learnt along the way.
