'''Trainer''': [[Bill McConnell]]

[[Jimmy Carruthers]] was an Australian representative at the 1948 Olympic Games in London. He defeated [[Arnoldo Pares]] of Argentina in his second bout of the Games. But he had sustained an eye injury during his bout with Pares, and had to withdraw from the quarter-final match with [[Tibor Csik]] of Hungary.

Carruthers joined the professional ranks in 1950, and was an immediate success. By then, he was being managed by [[Jim McGirr|Dr. Jim McGirr]], and trained by [[Bill McConnell|"Silent" Bill McConnell]].

Carruthers became Australia’s first universally recognised World Champion. Great Australians of the past--including [[Young Griffo]], [[Mick King]], and [[Les Darcy]]--had all won world titles, but they had not received international acceptance at the time of winning their respective crowns.

After defending his newly-won title against [[Vic Toweel]] in Johannesburg, and then against the American [[Henry (Pappy) Gault|Henry "Pappy" Gault]] in Sydney, it was found that Carruthers was carrying a 30-foot-long tapeworm.

He was matched to fight the New Zealand Bantamweight Champion [[Lyn Philp]]

After a non-title bout in Sydney, and a further title defence against [[Chamroen Songkitrat]] in Bangkok, Carruthers went into retirement 16th May, 1954.

Died after a long battle with lung cancer and Parkinson's disease.
