Through a mentorship program he established - known as Boxing Beyond Barriers - Gareth uses boxing as a way of transforming disengaged and troubled youths lives around in South East Queensland schools. 

4zzz’s Toni Pankaluic interviewed Gareth Williams and learnt about his mentorship work as well as understanding the true values of boxing.
