“We used to say we wanted to fight but my dad would never let us. He said it was too dangerous, he wanted us to build a future and go to university.
“About 17 years old I snuck out of home and started training without my dad knowing at the Broadbeach PCYC.
“When you start you say: ‘I just want to train’ but then you say: ‘I just want to have one fight’ and the adrenaline I got from that I thought there is no way I’d quit.”
Mr Dib has now had 20 fights and 20 wins, trained in Miami and hopes to win a national title next.

“Because often clients have heard of me or my brother when they come to see me for legal advice, they have these expectations but what I hear from most people is that they like how at our firm we’re down to earth.”
