Fighters who overcame rough beginnings.

Jeff Horn. Got picked on by bullies at school. They stole his lunch money more than once. Would have been a fully-fledged middleweight rather than a welter if he'd been able to have the occasional pack of chips at recess.

Then when he overcame all that, he fought one of the greatest fighters of all time in front of 51,000.

After an epic contest in which Horn was nearly stopped but emerged victorious, a big-mouthed but small-minded American television commentator got in the ring & told him he didn't deserve to win.

One of the saddest stories I've ever heard but the final chapter of this tale hasn't yet been written.
