David Nyika's professional boxing career has taken him a long way from home.
Born in Hamilton, the two-time Commonwealth Games champion and Olympic bronze medallist is currently based in country Queensland, where he works as a part-time caretaker, as he prepares for his assault on the world cruiserweight division.
"It's very, very simple," he told AM. "I prefer the simple life.
"I've got my chooks, I've got my lawns that I mow, I look after apartments and I love the simple life, but coming home, I get to see my family, and spend time with people I care about and love.
"You come from green pastures and now I'm running on red dirt and dodging brown snakes, which are the second-most venomous snake in the world. It's a nice change.
"I love the heat and I love the simplicity of life over there."
