David Higgins: How to create unicorns (re-release)
About this episode
This episode originally aired on February 1, 2021
David Higgins has one of the most fascinating minds in New Zealand sport with a cunning intelligence and the balls to continually bet big on himself, and win. In his mid 20s with no boxing experience and little money, he engineered the Fight of the Century between David Tua and Shane Cameron which laid the path for his journey to the top of the boxing worlds as Joseph Parker’s manager.
This episode is packed with cracking stories like how he feared for his life following a Hughie Fury press conference and how he manufactured a multi-million dollar pay day for Parker in a dream bout with Anthony Joshua.
We also delve into his background growing up in poverty and his subsequent relationship with money, celebrity speaking events and creating unicorns with Duco Events.
