NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Gavin Topp

In the years prior to my professional boxing career, I had 19 amateur fights. I had a passion for the sport and admired the physical and mental challenges it ensued. 

After going pro, I worked hard to achieve my goals, winning the Australian Title in the Junior middleweight division. I succeeded in defending my title in 2000 before retiring and setting up a boxing gym. 

In 2005 I decided to make a comeback and after fighting five international opponents I was granted the opportunity to fight Felix Sturm in Germany, for a World Title Eliminator and was ranked 12th in the world. Flash forward to 2022 where I was inducted into the Queensland Boxing Hall of Fame. 

I now live with my family on the humble Gold Coast of Australia where, with the help of my beautiful wife Michelle, together we founded the Fight Like a Pro Rite of Passage Program. 

Fight Like a Pro was birthed out of the culmination of my boxing career and our passion to see men rise up and be all that they are called to be. For Men to operate in their full capacity and be the best Husbands, Fathers, Sons, and leaders in our community.   

After leading 3000 men through this program, I had a hunger and desire to reach men not just locally, but around the world. This prompted me to write my first book 'A Rite of Passage', selling thousands of copies across the globe. 

Following the incredible reception of the book, I saw the need to pursue mentorship and soon after created the 'Man Alive Experience' - accessible online to any and all men in the world. 

My Story

In my younger years, I would constantly come home baring black eyes and bruises. As a result, when I was 14 my father decided to take me to a boxing gym. I accredit this as the beginning of my journey to total self confidence and inner belief. 

After 20 amateur fights, a lot of hard work and self determination,  I went pro at the age of 22. Following 20 wins, 3 draws and 4 technical knock outs, I was blessed with the opportunity to fight in Canada for a commonwealth title, holding the Australian Junior middle weight title and being ranked #13 in the world in 2007.

In the years succeeding my boxing career, I found that many men had a desire to test themselves in the ring. This led me to create Fight Like a Pro, a boxing program that takes men of any age and any fitness level on a journey to their own boxing experience in front of family, friends and work colleagues. 

Determined to pursue my passion in helping these men, I journeyed the path of mentorship where I now coach hundreds of men through 'The Man Alive Experience': a tried and tested framework that takes men on a journey from feeling dull, lost and without purpose to strong, bold and courageous -  creating men on a mission. 

Why I Do It

Since launching online and developing the 'Man Alive Experience' in 2021, I've been fortune enough to meet and change the lives of hundreds of men. 

In helping these men, each day I fulfil my desires to impact lives with these revelations - setting out on a mission to see men become better Husbands, Fathers, Sons, and leaders on a larger scale.
