Harry Garside has opened up about his new life following his split from his girlfriend Sonny earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The Australian boxing legend, 28, exclusively told Daily Mail at Derby Day in Melbourne on Saturday that he is still single.<\/p>\n

When asked if he was still dating her, the boxer simply replied ‘no’, but clarified there was no bad blood between them, adding: ‘She’s a legend’.<\/p>\n

The Melbourne-born athlete then revealed how he keeps himself busy these days – and hinted at when fans could expect to see him back in the ring.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve been enjoying the rollercoaster of life. I’m hoping to have a fight early next year, maybe January or February. Just enjoying life right now,’ Harry said.<\/p>\n

Harry also revealed whether he is currently looking for a new relationship.<\/p>\n

‘I’m not really looking for anything right now, just having fun with the boys,’ he said.<\/p>\n

In November last year,\u00a0Harry debuted his romance with Sonny at the<\/a> Melbourne<\/a> Cup, revealing they had met at a New Year’s Eve party.<\/p>\n

In August 2024, he revealed he had met somebody new<\/a> and fallen in love, but her identity wasn’t revealed until the races.<\/p>\n

At the time, Harry and his then-partner Sonny spoke to Daily Mail exclusively from Flemington.<\/p>\n

Sydneysider<\/a> Sonny, 22, works in PR and said she met the boxer at a party.<\/p>\n

‘And I took her out on a date two weeks later,’ he added.<\/p>\n

The Aussie boxer explained he was very happy with the new relationship and was still interested in pursuing boxing.<\/p>\n

‘I think I’ll definitely still box – I’ve still got the fire in my belly, but nothing locked in until next year,’ he said.<\/p>\n

The Melbourne-born athlete then revealed how he keeps himself busy these days – and hinted at when fans could expect to see him back in the boxing ring<\/p>\n

The boxer made headlines when he was dramatically arrested at Sydney Airport in 2023 as he returned home after appearing on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa.<\/p>\n

He was accused of assaulting ex-girlfriend Ash Ruscoe, which he firmly denied, and police later dropped the charges after his legal team produced video evidence they said showed his ex was the alleged aggressor.<\/a><\/p>\n

Harry later said the court case ordeal\u00a0was the ‘best thing that ever happened’ to him.<\/p>\n

‘The way it happened and what I was getting accused of was just so heavy. I look back now and realise it was the best thing that ever happened to me,’ he told\u00a0The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show.<\/p>\n

‘It was just like the time in my life where I actually had to step up for myself and become my own friend and have my own back.’<\/p>\n

He added that at a particularly low point during the ordeal, he began collecting ‘evidence’ about why he was a good person, which significantly boosted his morale.<\/p>\n

Harry said he never would have been prompted to do so if he didn’t go through the challenging ordeal, which he said helped him become a better person.<\/p>\n
