World champ boxer samples V8 Supercars

Newly-crowned IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale was a guest at the Winton Motor Raceway today.

Geale, a self-confessed fan of V8 Supercars, was a guest of the Toll Holden Racing Team, getting an insight to the sport through team drivers James Courtney and Garth Tander.

He enjoyed his first look inside a V8.

“It’s the first time that I’ve actually been ion one of the cars, and it was a tight squeeze,” Geale said.

Tander was pleased to have a world champion in the ‘Red Corner,’ while Courtney said it was nice to have Geale’s support.

“He’s a good guy to have on your side. If anything’s going down, I’ll run and stand behind him,” Courtney joked.
