We're heading back into the ring today for another closer look at boxing as we chat with an Australian boxer set to make her debut in Paris, Monique Suraci, to learn more about her incredible career and path to the Olympic Games! We find out just what got her into the sport and how a simple lie about her age helped get her involved! We also learn about her overcoming missing the 2020 Olympics and 2022 Commonwealth Games and how she was able to use that to help her finally punch her ticket to Paris 2024. Added to this we learn about why she will soon be the most famous resident to ever come from the town of Queanbeyan, just why the Australian Boxing Team is so confident of success in Paris and which other Olympic sports she is looking forward to witnessing during the Olympics.
