In this ep you're about to hear from the ONLY Australian boxer to have achieved #1 ranking in the world pound for pound! This year (2025) our girl, Diana Prazak, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and given these incredible (and under-celebrated) accolades I'm here to make some noise. 

Fun fact... Diana was the main event at the first pro boxing fight I attended back in 2014, fighting the tough-as-nails opponent Shotgun Shannon O'Connell (former guest on the show). What a fight!

We talked about her unexpected (and late) entry into boxing, her rise to number one in the world, and how she stayed grounded despite getting little recognition from back home. Diana doesn’t hold back. She shared the raw truth about what it took to keep showing up in a sport that gave her everything and nothing at the same time. We got into the reality of being a woman in boxing, what it means to fight through trauma, and how she’s now using her story to help others, especially young people who need it most. 

This is one for the underdogs, and just the kind of story that inspires the sh*t out of me... I hope you enjoy it just as much.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.
