Show Notes
For Jeff Fenech, the Newtown Police Boys Club wasn't a place to find a career - it was a place to find a fight. By age 13, Jeff was a "troublesome teenager" already hardened by street gangs and stints in youth detention centres. Everything changed when he met legendary trainer Johnny Lewis, a man who would become his father figure and steer him toward the discipline of the ring.
The rise of the "Marrickville Mauler" was nothing short of a boxing miracle. From the 1984 Olympics to winning a world title in only his seventh professional fight, this is the story of how a kid from the streets became an Aussie icon.
