20.01.2022 We always talk about squeezing every little bit of opportunity out of your time in the gym. Finished with sparring @aidyntran @carmelo1312fcim and @jakehesssse push each other to put in the extras - no requirement, no instruction, just a culture to be better than you were the day before. #boxing #woolloboxing

13.01.2022 A real honour for our team this last weekend to have PCYC NSW Life Governor and Woolloomooloo PCYC royalty Denis Cleary pay us a visit and run his eye over team. There was many young people that Denis helped in and out of the ring at Woolloomooloo and we will always be grateful for his service. He was presented a framed image of the club by our President Bruce Collins and an official Woolloomooloo Boxing Team t-shirt by Coach Thommo. #boxing
08.01.2022 Woolloomooloo Boxing’s own Jimmy Carruthers #Repost @australianboxingzone Jimmy Carruthers was Australia’s first undisputed world champion, capturing the world bantamweight championship on 15 November 1952 with a first-round knockout over South Africa’s Vic Toweel in Johannesburg. Carruthers made three successful defences before retiring undefeated in 1954 but was lured back into the ring in 1961, losing four of his six bouts before retiring for good with a 21-4 record.... Carruthers had an impressive amateur career. In 1946, at the age of 17, he made the final of the 1946 national titles. In 1947 he defeated Neville Rincheval, current Australian flyweight champion, who was undefeated in over 50 amateur bouts, to win the state bantamweight title. Carruthers went on to win the 1947 Australian titles and represented Australia at the 1948 London Olympics, winning his first two bouts but suffering a cut that forced him to withdraw before the quarter finals. After turning professional in 1950, Carruthers outpointed world-rated Australian bantamweight and featherweight champion Elley Bennett to win the Australian bantamweight title, earning himself a world ranking. A further win over former world title challenger Luis Castillo saw him ranked as the number one contender to Toweel’s title. Carruthers’ title shot and boxing career were almost derailed in South Africa when Carruthers suffered a blood infection and almost had to have his foot amputated. After spending six months in South Africa due to several postponements, the bout finally took place on 15 November. Carruthers exploded on Toweel in the opening seconds, throwing over 100 punches in two minutes to knock the champion out in the first round to become Australia’s first undisputed world champion. As champion, Carruthers knocked out Toweel in a rematch, this time in ten rounds, before outpointing Pappy Gault and Chamroen Songkitrat. His last two nces were fought under unusual circumstances Carruthers fought with a 30-foot tape worm in his stomach against Gault and the bout with Songkitrat was fought barefoot during a thunderstorm.
