If you can get to outback Queensland this this weekend, the Australian tent boxing promoter wants to hear from you.
A handful of fighters at the Bedourie Camel & Pig Races will have the once in a lifetime chance to represent boxing legend Fred Brophy and his last of its kind travelling boxing tent.
Would be fighters will have their travels paid for, camp with Fred and the rest of the troupe and even earn themselves a moniker from Fred.
Keen fighters should contact the Fred Brophy's Boxing Troupe Facebook page.
They better act fast though, the post calling for fighters has had more than 100 shares and 200 comments.
Fred Brophy has been on a comeback tour since the pandemic forced the tent in its longest ever hiatus.
Digger Brophy has been working alongside Fred for more than 20 years and said the would-be fighters will be providing a show like no other.
"Fighting for Fred you get to give the locals an experience they'll remember for a lifetime," Digger said.
"We're looking for someone with some experience and can provide some entertainment."
"Fred always brings a show and Bedourie will be like every other."
Many feared that spelt the end for the Outback legend and fourth generation showman but after a sell out comeback at Beef 2021, the 68-year-old has been as active as ever hosting events in Bundaberg, Cairns, Brisbane and Charters Towers.
Fred's iconic drum has events planned for the rest of the year and will be a must-go at next month's Birdsville Races.
