Victory Salute
Australian boxing has lost one of its greatest characters, promoters and (self proclaimed) greatest trainers, with the passing of Keith Ellis.
Ellis trained his younger brother Lester to a world title, and according to him at least, more Australian title holders than any other trainer - and who would argue with Keefy on that or anything else for that matter?
