“I wrongly assumed that Bradley Gallagher, who trained Shannan Taylor to a world boxing title, would be the type of guy who stands out from the crowd – or at the very least, would be at the center of a crowd.
So it takes a while to spot a smiling and waving Gallagher, sitting by himself in a corner of his favorite Wollongong cafe.
He swiftly takes care of an order for cappuccino and sits back down, removing his glasses. They’re not trendy sunglasses – these are prescription glasses.
With the glasses off, he points to the swelling at the corner of his right eye. It’s not a battle scar from boxing – it’s from a far bigger bout Gallagher is fighting. It doesn’t last just a few rounds, but a lifetime. His contender is epilepsy.”
