BRYDON
RETTER
I’m Brydon Retter. I met my wife six years
ago while holidaying in Vancouver. She
was from Winnipeg and I was from New
Zealand. I relocated to Winnipeg for the
affordable lifestyle it offers.
Why did you join Fight for Charity?
I started on this boxing quest to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. Plus, Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Winnipeg does wonderful things for the community.
What is your biggest accomplishment? My son.
What would people be most surprised to learn about you?
Random fact: I was the singer in a punk band.
What is your history with boxing?
I have zero boxing history.
Once my fight is done, I’d like:
To continue boxing for the fitness. I’m in the best shape of my life!
Favourite TV show: The Orville
Favourite movie: Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Favourite sport: Golf, although I’m a huge sports fan and have become a Jets fan in my short time
living here. I have no idea how to skate, but I’m sure I’ll have to learn so I can head out on the ice
with my kid once he’s old enough.
Favourite travel destination: New Zealand or Maui. We are now able to travel back to New Zealand
almost yearly with our young son to visit friends and family. I love the summers in Winnipeg and
tolerate the winters.
Who would play you in a movie? Meryl Streep could play me in a movie. She can play anyone.
