“Put it straight in the fridge whenyou get home, love,” they told me. A wonderful old Italian couplehad a grocery on Brunswick Street, of the kind you still find inremote villages in Italy. Crusty bread, pyramids of tinned tomatoesand tuna, sacks of dried beans, and home-grown lemons. Gertrude Street, however, was dodgy. We didn’t walk near thepubs, which were violent places, all grog and fights. The violencewas entirely personal, I think, but I wasn’t going to risk gettingcaught in the fall-out. I remember someone who had been around inthe 1950s telling me of houses with dirt floors and no electricity,and children with the diseases of poverty.

But the amount of global success in the unpaid ranks by eastern block boxers has rarely been reciprocated in the pros- the exception of course being the two heavyweight Klitschko (Wladimir and Vitali) brothers and former IBF cruiserweight king Vasiliy Jirov. it is important to note though that all three were forced to sign with promoters overseas in order to achieve their goal. But now Ukrainian businessman Mykolai Lisin aims to change all that by rejuvenating Professional boxing in Ukraine and producing genuine home grown world champions-starting with his undefeated light-heavyweight prospect Yuri Barash’yan. Lisin has a very impressive CV, possibly the most extraordinary of any boxing promoter in the history of world boxing. Lisin is a former officer in the Ukrainian army, the head of many national companies selling petrol, precious stones and mineral water and is also a Deputy minister of the State. Add all of the aforementioned to the fact that Lisin is also the President of the Ukrainian Boxing Federation and has his own promotional company (Infox Box Promotions) then one can understand why he could be deemed the most over qualified promoter in the world. Lisin’s aim is to promote Ukrainian boxers both inside Ukraine and to all the major boxing capitals of the world.
