A boxing Blizzard hits Beerwah

By Kirra Livingstone

A COLD front has hit Beerwah with up and coming fighter Tyler Blizzard settling into the area with Hinterland Boxing to grow his professional boxing career.

Blizzard began boxing in Tasmania with his father when he was 10 after growing tired of playing football and quickly fell in love with the sweet science.

“I love the competitiveness of boxing, I love what the sport brings to kids and what it brings to my life in general,” he said.

“I’m a competitive person so I love the feeling, it’s just me in there and all my feelings and emotions come out when I’m in the ring.”

However, he had to pump the brakes due to sustaining ligament damage in his right hand during a sparring session as an amateur boxer.

But once he decided to come back to the sport, he came back fighting as a professional boxer, and has since won all four of his professional bouts since his debut in 2022 against Daniel Harwood.
