Looking for information on Australian Middleweight Champion Ted Whiting and his brother Bunny Whiting. Ted was middleweight champion a few times between 1910 and 1914. Any info at all would be great, pics would be even better.

Thanks CHB. I've got quite a few articles from Trove or the National Library of Australia. The other link is interesting, looks like some relative of his might be seeking info too. Thanks Spider.
Bobby Sinn may be able to point you in the direction of some more info. There's also a book called the Australian Encyclopedia of Boxing. I've picked it up a few times, but most of what's in it you'd find on BoxRec etc, so I haven't parted with the cash. Still it might just make mention or even include your two subjects.

I was thinking Tony might be able to supply some info. I've seen that book around a few times but thought the same as you mate so never bought it.
Whiting has some good connections. Bob Whitelaw belted him on Jan 5th 1907, to defend the national welter crown. The same Whitelaw later beat (for his first loss- the only Aussie to beat him) a young Darcy in 1913.. during Whitelaws second tenure at welter domination. Dave Smith, Arthur Cripps and Jerry Jerome had beaten Whiting in national middleweight bouts, whilst Whiting managed the middle crown from Tim land in a vacant title contest, May 27, 1911. Bob Greenshields ( former Oz lightweight champ... 1909) also tackled Whiting a couple of times... Can provide a 'complete' record if you like. Edit.. All the dribble above is listed on boxrec too. Finding a pic might be a struggle. Newspaper archives will be the best shot.
I should have said he fought for the Australian Middleweight title a few times between 1910 and 1914.
