The last undisputed champion in Australia
The last undisputed champion in Australia
Was there ever one?
Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
Lionel rose, jimmy carruthers and kosta tszyu if you consider he became a citizen
Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
yup. I despaired about Jeff Fenech at featherweight. i was disappointed at him moving from Bantam to Jnr Feather to feather to Jnr light without bothering to unify at featherweight. One unified championship is worth a dozen part titles IMO.Pureist wrote:Lionel rose, jimmy carruthers and kosta tszyu if you consider he became a citizen
Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
Not the last, but the first:
Young Griffo, who held the Australian featherweight title for many years, and in 1890 challenged Torpedo Billy Murphy for the World Featherweight Title and won in the 15th round after Murphy retired.
He defended the title four times before vacating it to fight at a higher weight.
No alphabet soup organisations back down in those foggy ruins of time.

Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
Sorry, forgot about your comprehension problem, the IF is there to show you could take him for Russian or Australian, they did flay the Australian national anthem before he fought if you saw any of his bouts

Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
Tszyu lives in Russia KelandBeave.
He was born in Russia, went to school in Russia, brought up by his parents in Russia, Learnt boxing in Russia. Only emigrated to Australia as an adult to further his boxing career and now in his 40's has moved back to Russia to live.
Sorry to anyone who wants to cling on to him as some Aussie saviour of boxing but he is Russian.

Same can be said for Gennedy Golovkin........... Not sure he has even fought in Kazakhstan, but he's still considered a native of that country.tsmithy50 wrote:And yet he never had one pro fight there.Francis75 wrote:Tszyu lives in Russia KelandBeave.

My boss here in nz was a 10 pound pom, he classes himself as a kiwi. He's even going back to England to watch the upcoming rugby world cup with the all blacks supporters, he's a kiwi now. Who are you or I to say any different?

I post here and on checkhook mate.
I remember reading on forums over the years that Tszyu's son fought amatuer and I am just asking if he still fights/trains etc etc. Does he still fight here or in Russia with his dad ? Is he a good fighter ?
Re: The last undisputed champion in Australia
I have been a member here since 2013 don't post much but buster007 is a serial pest calling anyone who posts something he doesn't like a troll or GOOSE. And uses multiple exclamation marks. Welcome to the forum Francis75 continue to post your thoughts on boxing mate. Your thoughts will hopefully stimulate lively discussion about the sweet science.Francis75 wrote:What other forum ?buster007 wrote:u r a pathetic trolling grub.
