Rising boxing star and media darling Harry Garside has been sensationally dropped by legendary trainer Johnny Lewis for choosing a reality TV show instead of a blockbuster Main Event bout.
The 25-year-old rose to popular fame after becoming the first Aussie in three decades to win a boxing medal (bronze) at an Olympic Games - and breaks just about every stereotype in the book.
Fond of wearing dresses, bright nail polish and proud of embracing his femininity despite being a straight boxer; Garside is now putting his new-found fame to use by accepting a spot on popular Channel 10 show 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!
Since becoming pro, the Southpaw has a 3-0 record after winning gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and bronze in Toyko - though despite his assertations he was all-in on becoming a world champion, it appears he might have conflicting priorities.

And Lewis, who trained Aussie legend Jeff Fenech, is having none of it, and he has cut ties with Garside as a result.
'The ingredients for being a world champion are hard work and commitment,' Lewis told the Daily Telegraph.
'You can't keep knocking back fights. There are no shortcuts in the fight game.'
