Jeff Fenech |
The three-time world champion at bantamweight, super bantamweight and featherweight is arguably one of the greatest boxers has ever produced. Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York in June 2002, Fenech is recognised around the world as one of the sports greats. A controvserial draw with African great Azumah Nelson when the majority of the world saw him win, cost Fenech what would have been an amazing fourth world title at super featherweight. A career spanning 1984 to 1996, Fenech turned professional after a controversial quarter final points loss at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Trained by Johnny Lewis, Fenech was known as the "Marrickville Mauler" and was like a pocket dynamo in the ring, capturing the hearts of Australian sporting fans with his unique expression, "I love youse all". The head trainer, manager and promoter now passes on his never ending resources of boxing knowledge to the members of Team Fenech. |
