That's very sad news, he used to train at wooloomooloo. I never seen any of his fights, but they reckon he was a big puncher. I heard he had only 3 amutear fights and lost all 3, than in the pros he became Australian super champ great effort. I was actualy talking to him last year, he was in the gym good bloke all the best to his family & friends.

I didn't know John as a boxer, but saw him around quite a bit. He always said: "Hello" and was a very nice person to me. I liked him as he was very helpful to one of my elderly neighbors and although not in a good crowd...he was still quite a decent fella.

Very very sad state of affairs...may he RIP.
