That moment has been a long time in the making for 23 year old Alex Winwood, a Noongar man from Perth.


Six Australian boxers will make their Olympic debut after being selected to the Olympic team which includes the first Indigenous athlete to qualify for the Tokyo Games.

They will join almost 100 others already confirmed for Japan, as part of an Australian team that’s expected to be up to 480 strong.
