Fred Brophy is the last of his kind. For decades, the legendary showman has travelled the country with Australia’s last surviving travelling boxing tent — preserving a piece of Australian history that has all but disappeared. In this special interview from Mount Isa, Fred sits down with Karl Stefanovic for an extraordinary conversation about his wild life on the road, being shot, going to jail, losing two fingers, the fighters whose lives he’s helped turn around and why he refuses to let one of Australia’s great traditions die. But Fred also has plenty to say about modern Australia. He gives Karl his unfiltered take on immigration, the housing crisis, Anthony Albanese and the government, reveals why Pauline Hanson is his favourite politician, and explains why he believes Australians are becoming increasingly fed up with the direction of the country. Plus, Fred reveals the story behind the world’s last travelling boxing tent — and gives Karl his very own fighting name. What do you
