On the first weekend of 2026, when the PBR’s Unleash The Beast tour thundered into TD Garden for the first time ever, the soft-spoken Australian stood alone at the top when the dust finally settled. In front of a sold-out crowd of 12,937 fans, Brady Fielder delivered a flawless 3-for-3 performance, capped by the only qualified ride of the Championship Round and the lone 90-point score of the weekend.

His 91.20-point ride aboard Eyes On Me, a bull he selected with the third pick in the short round draft, was the highest score of the event and a season-best mark early in the 2026 campaign.

Fielder’s week in Boston began as a courtside cowboy at a Celtics game and watching the Bruins battle on the ice before he took center stage himself, becoming one of 22 riders to convert in Round 1 inside TD Garden. Paired with Uptown Funk, the Australian delivered a composed 86.80-point ride that quietly put him in contention as the weekend unfolded. Saturday night, he returned to the dirt and doubled down, posting an 87.15-point score aboard Cliff Hanger. The ride briefly pushed him to the top of the leaderboard and reinforced what those closest to the sport already knew: Brady Fielder is as consistent as they come.

As the Championship Round arrived, pressure mounted. One by one, riders were bucked off or came up short. When it was Fielder’s turn, all eyes were on him, and aboard Eyes On Me, he delivered with the calm, balance and patience that define his riding. When the whistle blew, he stuck the landing, as he so often does, dismounting onto his feet with cat-like reflexes to seal the event win as the only rider to convert in the final round.

“This atmosphere just pumps us up,” Fielder said on the Paramount+ broadcast following the win. “Now we head toward New York City. I’m going to take it step by step, take care of what’s in front of me.”

Before ever climbing into the chutes in Boston, Fielder got the grand tour, attending both a Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins game earlier in the week. By the time bull riding officially debuted in Boston, he was already soaking in the energy of a sports town built on big moments and relentless expectations. When it was time to ride, he delivered exactly that, steady and confident.

It is a far cry from the other side of the world where he grew up, a journey that has carried him to cities all over the world.

Raised in Clermont, Queensland, Fielder was still in diapers when he first started riding calves. By his teens, he was already chasing a dream that would eventually carry him nearly 20 hours on a plane to the United States.

At just 16 years old, that dream nearly slipped away after a violent wreck threatened to end his career before it began. His chest was stomped, puncturing a lung and forcing an air pocket behind his eye that would eventually rupture, leaving him blind in one eye. For many, it would have been the end. For Fielder, it was only the beginning.

Grinding through the Australian ranch circuit, he steadily worked his way up, earning PBR Australia Rookie of the Year honors in 2019 before setting his sights on the global stage. His rise has been built on consistency rather than flash, a quality that has become his calling card.

Off the dirt, the “Wringer” keeps life intentionally simple: black coffee, trail mix or a banana, cardio five days a week, and the occasional hot yoga session, just to maintain peak bull riding shape.

Known for his lanky build and uncanny ability to stick the landing after nearly every ride, Fielder has become one of the sport’s most recognizable silhouettes when the gate swings open.

Lactose intolerant? Absolutely.
Bull intolerant? Not even close.

But for Brady, Boston was more than just another stop on the schedule. It was a debut for the sport in one of America’s most iconic arenas, and Fielder made sure it was remembered. He did not shout. He did not celebrate wildly. He simply rode, and rode better than everyone else.

As the Unleash The Beast tour continues its early-season run and the road leads next to Madison Square Garden, Fielder remains exactly where he is most comfortable: focused on the next bull, the next eight seconds and the next opportunity to prove that consistency wins championships.

Through three events, Brady Fielder sits No. 2 in the world standings with 188 points, just one qualified ride behind leader Marco Rizzo, averaging 86.45 points per ride, earning $62,200, and converting 6 of 9 rides (66.67%), a quiet reminder that the Outback outlaw is very much in the hunt.
