“I shouldn’t be alive.”
This week on Bros and Cons, we sit down with Kinahoi — a man whose life was shaped by violence from the start. Growing up in the housing blocks of Campbelltown, surrounded by chaos, fighting wasn’t a choice… it was survival.
He opens up about getting pulled into gang culture, being on the run, and going in and out of prison. From drug addiction to losing custody of his son, this is the reality most people never see — no filters, no glorification.
But this story doesn’t end there.
After the devastating loss of his sister to suicide, everything changed.
Kinahoi speaks on hitting rock bottom, getting clean, rebuilding his life, regaining custody of his son, and transforming physically and mentally. Today, he’s using his past to fuel his purpose — fighting in the ring and running programs to guide the next generation away from the same path.
This is raw. This is real. This is what it actually costs.
