When Gairy “Superman” St Clair defeated Cassius Baloyi to become World Champion in 2006, he was a long way from the Georgetown streets of his youth in Guyana. The story of how the former IBO/IBF world title holder overcame all odds to be at the top of his sport is an inspiration to young fighters all over the world.
Gairy St Clair will reach another incredible career milestone this year when he will be inducted into the Australian National Boxing Hall-of-Fame on August 26, at Crown Melbourne. This tremendous honour recognises his achievements in representing Guyana and Australia on the boxing world stage and his commitment to supporting the champions of tomorrow.
