Promoter Garrie Francisco -

"Grange Old School Boxing have answered the call. The call of the Australian boxing fans wanting fantastic quality, localised bouts and we've delivered!"

"Names on this card are both current and former World-Champions and more to the point, future ones also and the Grange are behind developing this talent onto bigger things."

"Australian fight fans, and more importantly, the Australian public should be supporting shows like this and these young boxers that are doing Australia proud on a national and international stage."


Billy ‘The Kid’ Dib –

“This is my fight, not his. I absolutely respect the fact that Davey called for this fight, but make no mistake, I’m finishing it and I’m knocking him out, it’s as simple as that!”

“Billy Hussein and I have prepared and I have nothing but faith in the preparation we are bringing into this fight. My weight’s right, everything’s in order, let’s go!”


Trainer Billy Hussein -

“I don’t know how much more I can get him ready? He’s fit and has trained as hard and with as much quality as any fighter I have worked with going into a big fight – Vic, Danny Green, any of them.”

“He’s a firecracker waiting to be lit. I get the easy job of now lighting it!”


Further comment from 'The Zappa' camp about the pending clash with Gairy 'The Superman' St. Clair -


Lenny 'The Zappa' Zappavigna -

“I’m really looking forward to the bout as Gairy is such a world-class fighter and I want to take on the best to challenge and develop myself for the higher class bouts further into my career”.

“This is a real test for me and I can’t wait.”


Trainer Tommy Mercuri -

“This is a great fight no doubt about it and I’m really looking for Lenny to go to another level. Gairy is a super fighter and this bout brings together two very differing styles, but promises plenty.”

“I have untold faith in my fighter and I can’t wait for Lenny to produce the goods.”


Manager Billy Hussein –

"It’s a great card put together by Grange Old School Boxing and Lenny’s match-up with ‘The Superman’ is a bout the fans have been calling for and once the fight was made, has been well received.”

“I believe Lenny has the tools to take Gairy, however respecting the superb fighter he is makes for a great clash”.
