Fenech Looking for a Few More KOs

Australian boxer Jeff "The Marrickville Mauler" Fenech, who won three World Championship titles in the 1980s, is in the field today. 21 of his 28 career wins came by knockout, and he's no doubt looking to repeat that performance today, albeit by raking in chips rather than delivering punches.

Though he works primarily as a trainer these days, the 43-year-old Fenech recently came out of retirement to fight 49-year-old former rival Azumah Nelson in a "grudge match" last month in Australia, which he won.
