watched a couple of hes figghts the other day,and was a bit impressed
can anyone tell me anything much about him?
is he still in australia?
is he still boxing? if so is there any reason why he doesnt fight more often

At the moment it's unclear of his whereabouts.
He was scheduled to fight on Liparota/Korica show @ Coburg Town Hall on Nov 14, but left trainer Louie Korica a few weeks earlier.

He remained in OZ after 2006 C'wealth Games, as did a few others, so there might be probs with Immigration Dept.
Some had been rounded up & sent home.

Same thing existed with Africans after 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Most of what were known as 'African Kings' & based in Adelaide were eventually sent home.

thanks, antons

Some of the African Kings are still here though aren't they?

Asiku, Egberime & Izonritei managed to get permanent residency - Izonritei works on oil rigs off South Australia making a mint so he no longer boxes.
Kariuki is still around, but jumps between NZ & OZ when his Visa expires.
The rest were deported long ago.

Like you I've been impressed by the guy - saw a couple of his fights live.

Yannick wasn't the only one from the Cameroon boxing team to stay after the Comm Games - nearly all of them remained in Oz.

Hopefully, at least some of them will be able to legally stay.

Took a break but is back training strong. He's now an Aussie citizen. No.3 in the super middles so hopefully a shot at the title this year.

Good news for Serge & Oz boxing.

Hope you can get him matched-up now Charlie. That's your next challange.
