AFL Hard Man Mitch Robinson Reveals Sparring Incident with Top Australian Heavyweight

AFL hard man Mitch Robinson has proven himself in the boxing ring after a stunning victory over former Richmond star Kayne Pettifer at The Gathering on Wednesday night. Despite being dropped by heavyweight boxer Joseph Goodall just two weeks before the fight, Robinson showed his resilience and determination as he outclassed his more experienced opponent.

Robinson, a former Lions and Blues star, displayed the results of his hard work and dedication in the gym, showcasing his trademark aggression and boxing skills. After the bout, Robinson expressed his desire to continue fighting and even mentioned his interest in taking on NRL players in the ring.

“I don’t know who’s in my weight division for the NRL, but AFL vs NRL would make a good decision, I think,” Robinson said. “I know I’d love to take on those boys, I know they’d probably gas a little bit earlier than us but they can pack a punch.”

In preparation for his boxing debut, Robinson enlisted the help of tennis star Nick Kyrgios as a personal trainer. Robinson defended Kyrgios against the negative media portrayal, calling him misunderstood and highlighting his generosity and hard work behind the scenes.

The Gathering fight card also featured controversial analyst Kane Cornes, who was defeated by ex-Tigers and Bulldogs star Nathan Brown. Despite Cornes having the edge in fitness, Brown’s powerful shots ultimately secured him the victory.

Robinson’s impressive performance in the ring has sparked interest in his future boxing endeavors, with fans eagerly anticipating his next fight. As he continues to train and learn from top boxers like Goodall, Robinson is poised to make a significant impact in the boxing world.
