Brayd Smith's Camp Winding Down For March 3 Return
Former Australian Golden Gloves Champion, “The Great White” Brayd Smith has today wrapped up his sparring for his international showdown on March 3 at Rumours International in Toowoomba.
It has been a grueling 8 week training camp for the second year law student who after finishing a tough 8 rounds of sparring, was quick to return to his other duties of caring for his rescued kangaroo, Ruby “Red Roo”.
“Friends of ours found her a few weeks ago. Her mum had died after being hit by a car so I said I’d take care of her” said Brayd Smith.
“Our family has taken care of injured Kangaroos before and successfully raised them”.
If left to fend for her self the baby kangaroo would have zero chance of survival.
However looking after a joey (baby kangaroo) is no easy job requiring plenty of attention and feeding every four hours.
“For me it’s very relaxing, and I can fit my routine around her feeding and besides when she gets a bit older she will be a perfect running and maybe even sparring partner!” he joked.
With his fight only ten days away Brayd is relaxed and said he is in great physical and mental shape.
“We have had a tough camp, but the hard yards in the gym are finished and I am focusing on freshening up for March 3 and I am ready for whatever comes my way.”
This will be only Brayd Smith’s second professional fight, following on from an impressive first round KO win on debut on the undercard of Michael Katsidis in August. He now faces the more experienced Thai opponent Denprakarn Sithsaithong on March 3.
This is one of three international fights on the card which also feature Australian Junior Welterweight champion Jack “The Assassin” Asis and former world title challenger Czar Amonsot.
