Jeff Fenech released without charge

FORMER champion boxer Jeff Fenech has been released after police questioned him over an incident in Sydney

Police said a 44-year-old Five Dock man had been been released without charge today pending further investigation.

The man, whom police would not confirm was Fenech, was arrested after an incident at Banksia at about 5pm (AEDT) yesterday.

Police would not give details of the incident.

The Daily Telegraph website earlier reported Fenech and an associate were involved in an altercation in which the associate was allegedly king hit

People say where there is smoke there is fire. Jeff seems to always have heaps of smoke around him.

It was just self defence

they maybe had a flash back to when they used to spar each other!!

good times!!!

The Daily Terror reported this incident:

JEFF Fenech is disappointed in himself and regrets getting into a fight with his "lifetime best mate" and fellow former boxer Peter Mitrevski last night.

Fenech was holed up in his Five Dock home this morning, refusing to speak to media outside - but rang the Kyle and Jackie O Show on 2DAYFM to explain himself.

The former world champion revealed he'd been in a dispute with Mitrevski for weeks - but things got out of hand when Fenech tried to resolve the matter yesterday.

Fenech was later interviewed by police after the incident.

"I can't change anything, but hopefully we will get together and sort it out," Fenech told the breakfast radio pair.

"We've been having an argument for the last couple of weeks and I went over there to really try and fix things up and Peter was a little agitated still and said a few things and we got into a grappling motion and all of a sudden Peter threw a couple of punches.

"I threw one and I tried to punch Peter just in the chest to try and wind him or something but it kind of rebounded off his chest and hit him in the mouth.

"I'm getting several stitches put into my hand and hopefully my friend is alright and hopefully we can get it fixed up today and I can go over and help him."

One hopes Jeff's watch wasn't damaged at the same time he landed the punch.

Allways news worthy if it involves Jeff Fenech

wow such a surprise

complete f-wit, put him behind bars.

Big fornicating deal, I few punches were thrown. To many softcocks in the world today IMO. Why go to the cops if you cop a smack in the mouth. Be a man and get over it.

I mean a punch in the mouth isnt exactly getting your head stompted on by 5 guys etc. If its one on one and you get a bloody lip. Big deal.

Peter Mitrevski can't seem to take a trick. I once saw where a brawl erupted at a boxing night and people rushed into the ring. Mitrevski ended up being thrown from the ring over the top rope by a security guy

Was that up in Darwin at John Siriotis fight? Pretty sure Fenech was involved in that also.

Under normal circumstances it'd be fair to say that Peter has presumably been thrown over the top rope out of a ring only once, therefore yes, Fenech would have been involved

I once saw both Mitrevski and Fenech in a Myer store in Melbourne in the late 80's. I'd just 10 minutes earlier bought the latest 'fighter' mag with Fenech on the cover and was going to ask them both to sign it. Perhaps I made the right choice in walking away instead

seems that way. he might have knicked it if you offered it.

I've never dealt with him, but a mate has. Says he is dodgy as all get out.

not much would surprise

A cousin and his then gf were introduced to Fenech many years ago and Fenech kept perving at the gf. Not a quick look as most of us do but continuous and blatant perving. My cousin deferred on the issue of challenging Fenech about it

I have met him a few times and he seemed a nice bloke. Always payed for lunch, let me help set up for fight nights, gave me tickets... I was also at his house a couple of days before it was shot at a few years back
