| Boxer, born in Paddington, Sydney, New South Wales, SE Australia. In the course of a very short professional boxing career - only 19 bouts, all of which were won - he established himself as the greatest of Australian boxers. He became world bantamweight champion by knocking out Vic Toweel in the first round in 1952. He retired while not yet 25 to become a boxing referee and pub owner. |
