Former Brisbane and Carlton hard man Mitch Robinson has had a startling physical transformation since having his first professional boxing fight.

‘Tried cutting down to the lowest comfortable weight in 10 weeks without being stupid. 81kgs this morning!
‘Don’t know what’s next but keen for another type of challenge in the mean time.’
