The most prestigious club in Australian boxing (the IBF World Champions club) has recently admitted several new members. As a sign of the times, they're even admitting women to their ranks these days. That should make for more interesting club meetings although I don't envy the ladies in having to put up with some of those old codgers slobbering over them after they've had a few. The complete list of current & former Australian IBF World Champs appears below (shout out if I've missed anyone) - Jeff Fenech (B), Lester Ellis (JL), Barry Michael (JL), Kostya Tszyu (JW x 2), Vic Darchinyan (Fl & JB), Robbie Peden (JL), Lovemore Ndou (JW), Gairy St Clair (JL), Billy Dib (Fe), Daniel Geale (M), Sam Soliman (M), George Kambosos Jr (L), Jai Opetaia (Cr), Ebanie Bridges (B), Cherneka Johnson (SB). All still alive. A great memorabilia piece would be getting all those signatures on an IBF world championship belt. Something I've always intended to do but never got around to. Maybe one day.
It's a very exclusive club & that extends to their meetings, entry to which is strictly controlled. There's even a sign put up over the bar that says - "No Horndogs allowed".
other than danny green putting roy jones in a coma, jeff horn is the only ozzie boxer to beat the crap out of a boxing legend and out and out superstar like manny pacquiao. i guess the horndog is content enough with that, lol.
Does anyone know the details of the Sam Soliman card the other night?? Apparently Sammy got the win and Jake Clague won his debut but haven't seen anything with detail
all fact and it kills u and your boyfriend doesn't it? your hate doesn't change history. they were both 2 of the biggest wins in boxing ever and u watched them both while crying into your glass of baileys and milk didn't you? pmsl.
You really thinking Danny beating Roy Jones corpse was one of the biggest wins by an Aussie boxer should be ranked number one on the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this board list and I've been here well over a decade ya f arking peanut . You not giving Jai his props speaks volumes also .
Uncle Ray reporting Lonergan wants Whateley for Jai next. Not sure if he is aware Jase just signed to fight Masternak in an eliminator.
Just read on Insta what Troy thought of the fight. He was pretty dirty with he decision. Was stopped in the 4th because of a cut which he thought was caused by a punch and went to the cards. From his viewpoint the cut wasn't even bad but he wasn't disputing the stoppage, as he acknowledged that the safety of fighters should come first. But he felt he had clearly won all of the completed rounds and was even robbed of what he felt was a clean knockdown. Sammy got the win via a technical decison. Sounds like some Melbourne home cooking from what he is saying but having not seen it I can't really comment on that.
