Exclusive Interview: Jeff Fenech

During his time as the IBF bantamweight, WBC Super Bantamweight, and WBC Featherweight champion, the Australian-favorite Jeff Fenech also known as the Marrickville Mauler, saw tremendous action in the ring when going up against the likes of Daniel Zaragoza, and “The Professor” Azumah Nelson.  He defended his IBF title three times before moving up to knock out Samart Payakarum in the fourth round for the WBC Super Bantamweight title.  Fenech knocked out Victor Callejas in the 10th round to capture the vacant WBC featherweight title, a strap he defended three times before moving up to junior lightweight, only to be robbed with a draw against the Professor.  Fenech is enjoying his time now with his family, but boxing has not left his blood.  He is currently training some of boxing’s finest from Down Under, and BoxingTalk spoke with Fenech after Saturday night’s ceremonies to divulge tales of his tremendous years as a boxer and more currently as a trainer for some amazing fighters, as well as his prediction on the Kostya Tszyu – Sharmba Mitchell match up coming in November.
