There is actually another a thread on aboriginal Autralian boxers on this website where further info might be available to answer this question. https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/best-5-all-time-aboriginal-boxers.84250/
Willie Kickett,Matt Gartlett. Aborigines are talented sportsmen,women who are over represented in sports(make up 2%of the population far more than that in sports representation). Over represented in boxing too but suspect jaws.
to be fair, hes a converted world class pro rugger player, he had no business being in a boxing ring at world leve. wat he acheived was well nigh remarkable
He grew up around boxing and had a brief amateur career, it's not as if he just picked up a pair of gloves and hopped into boxing without without knowing what he was doing. But yeah, still a great crossover athlete.
I'd say they were more trying to convince the board that they were trying to meet u than actually trying to meet up.
