Despite not officially announcing any form of retirement, Geale hasn't fought a professional bout since his 2016 clash with Renold Quinlan for the vacant IBO world super middleweight title at the Silverdome.

"At this stage, I don't have any plans," Geale said in regards to retirement when asked the million dollar question.

"I get asked several times everyday but I'm happy doing what I'm doing.

"I'm coaching, training a lot of people and I also do a lot of youth work up in Sydney so I'm keeping busy that way.

"If the urge comes back for myself to put the gloves back on, I'm going to jump to it but at this stage, the urge hasn't been 100 per cent there."

Returning to his home state, Geale was impressed by the Tasmanian March weather but more excited to be continuing his mentor role to the next generation of Australian boxers.

The world champion will sit in the corner of Sydney boxing hope Blair Geraghty on Saturday night as the 12-year-old prepares to take on Penguin's Gerald O'Callaghan from O'Callaghan Boxing Gym.

A Graeme George Boxing representative, Blair got into boxing after joining a local class and goes to the same school as Geale's daughters.

Once Blair's father found out Geale lived nearby, it was a no-brainer to get support. 

"It's good to have Daniel in my corner as he understands what it's like being a fighter and how hard it is training and the mental preparation that goes into it," Blair said

Geale's successful career has taken him all over the globe, including a fight in America against undefeated Kazakh superstar Gennedy Golovkin, but he still finds time to commit himself to Tasmanian boxing according to long-time coach George.

"He tries to get down as much as he can and we are fortunate enough for it to work in really well for the weekend.

"A lot of people don't realise that Daniel is always working for the community and always makes his time available to help with different organisations.

"Even though Daniel is living in Sydney, he is very much Tasmania-orientated."

Saturday night's testimonial event provides a special occasion for Geale as it is the first time he is able to watch cousins Brodey and Danielle Clayton, of Tigers Den Boxing, compete.

"Watching them is going to be awesome," Geale said

"I've heard a lot of really good things about them so I'm really keen to watch them go at it as well as the other fighters on the card.

"From what I hear it's going to be a really entertaining fight night.

The 18-bout card is being held at Launceston's KFM Fitness with doors opening at 5pm for a 6pm start.

Full of interstate and local fighters, the night is headlined by two main event bouts with Danielle Clayton taking on Irish opponent Oliwia Sansom and Dakota Bannister competing against Tim Byrne in a heavyweight collision.
