Fight Club (2015x31)

: 15, 2015

Why do some men fight? Queenslander Joe "Butterbean" Sweeney says he started fighting at the age of 10 and has had “about 2000” street fights. "I can get real mad. The demons come out of me," he said." Melbourne man Paul Diacogiorgis has never fought in a schoolyard before but joined a fight club for white-collared workers because he wanted to do something out of his comfort zone. From organised sparring bouts in the ring to provoking someone on the streets, we find out what's it like to get punched and be punched. In this program first broadcast in 2014, host Jenny Brockie explores what’s behind the urge to land a blow.
