He would not get a licence to box here.

By the way, where is "Sidney"? Is this some strange American way of spelling "Sydney"?

Good on him! He is following his dream!

Whats the story behind him Stacy? When did he come to the states? how long has he been with you? Whats the future?

Dunworth is fighting Ron Collins tomorrow night (February 9 2008)in Arkansas. He KOed the same Collins in one round last Saturday night.

The State of Arkansas obviously do not care if a boxer gets killed.

I listened to an interview with Dexter either just before or just after his first fight on the now defunct SEN radio tuesday night boxing hour. It seemed like he has been around gyms for a long time and he may have helped train at some time(?) Not sure if starting at that age is alright or not, but he did seem to know his way around a gym.

A lot of men have trained in boxing gyms for years to keep fit and not fought.I can tell you from when I did a bit in my misspent youth that it is a great way to keep your weight down. Within two years of stopping I gained more than ten kilos.

Maybe Dexter could fight Cliff Couser? :P

I think Dexter & his manager/agent Stacy Goodson are having a lend of yanks.

If they don't provide me with photocopy of his passport within 14 days, I'll remove his nationality & residence

Stacy did get it wrong. He, for life of him, can't understand how he managed to do that.
Dexter is a former Muay Thai champ who resides in Bangkok and pops over to US for important fights

So he is the top cruiserweight in Thailand? :)

I managed to establish Dexter is in fact an Aussie. Apparently he’s a fitness instructor for one of the footy clubs over in US.

Well done mate

Well, Dexter is not the oldest anymore. Former WBC Light Welterweight champ Saoul Mamby has decided to further besmirch his record today by fighting 32 year old journeyman middleweight Frank Bybee in Idaho. Saoul is 60 years old.
