Personal life
Garside decided he wanted to take up boxing when he was 9 years old. This came as a shock to his family as he was not considered to be a boxer. He was the youngest of three boys and was closest to his mum. He was inspired by the Olympic Spirit from a young age, having photos of Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe on his bedroom ceiling to inspire him.[5]
Garside joined the Lilydale Youth Club which became his second home. He was at first to be an easy target and lost 10 of his first 18 fights. Garside harnessed an underdog mentality and he was motivated to train harder.[5]
Garside is employed as a plumber.[4] He wore nail polish during the 2020 Olympics, citing his desire to defy gender stereotypes.[4]
