Kyle catches up with professional boxer Viviana Ruiz ahead of the biggest fight of her career — the Interim World Title on April 26th at Nissan Arena in Brisbane. Viviana opens up about her journey from growing up in Colombia to building a life and boxing career in Australia, her mission to grow women’s boxing, and the mindset that’s taken her to the top.
They dive into her partnership with coach Ben Savva, the mental side of the sport, staying consistent, and managing nerves ahead of a huge moment. Kyle also reflects on his own experience training alongside her — calling Viviana the hardest-training person he’s ever worked with.
An inspiring, powerful chat with a true warrior in and out of the ring.

Ed Kavalee (TV & Radio Superstar) - The man with his fingers in a lot of pies.
This was so surreal, I can not thank Ed enough for taking the time to have a chat. One of the smartest, nicest people I have had the privilege of having a chat with. Answered all questions and even through some back!
Ed Kavalee you may know him for his morning radio show with Dave Hughes and Erin Molan, maybe you recognise him from Have You Been Paying Attention TV show? or Maybe from one of his several other ventures he has taken.
You might even have children and recognise the name from one of his kid's books that has been published.
Ed has been an Australia media personality for some time time, featuring on hit shows, the cover of Men's Health and several radio shows. The man has his fingers in a lot of pies.
We had a chat about his time in the spotlight and Ed shares a couple of stories along the way.
