Sharman (holding hat) is flanked by boxer Dave Sands, and his son Jimmy Sharman Jnr. Photograph courtesy of Jimmy Sharman Jnr. 48 PROFESSIONAL ABORIGINAL BOXERS IN EASTERN AUSTRALIA 1930-1979* Richard Broome At first glance the money and prestige available to Aborigines through the sport of professional boxing suggest that boxing might have allowed Aborigines to escape the usual subordinate and outcast condition assigned to them by European-dominated Australian society. This paper attempts to examine the truth of this popular conception of boxing. It also seeks to retrieve the Aboriginal experience of the fight game, for of all sports, only football has rivalled the importance of boxing in Aboriginal community and sporting life and Aboriginal folklore. The examination of the Aboriginal experience in the world of boxing should increase our understanding of race relations in Australia. Professional boxing is a distinctive sport because fighters are in the business of inflicting bodily injury for money in potentially tough physical encounters. The professionals are even distinguished from amateur boxers, because the ‘lily-whites’ are protected from injury by rigid rules and very strict refereeing. It is this fact of institutionalized violence which is at the core of the tight-knit nature of this sporting subculture, centred as it is around inner city gymnasiums where the faithful gather to talk their own jargon and watch the hopefuls go through the rituals of shadow boxing, skipping, bag punching and sparring.

M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

  • Aboriginal Boxers in Sydney, Dawn
    Aboriginal Boxers in Sydney Australian middleweight champion Tony Mundine, scored his 14th knockout in 19 fights on Tuesday night, 9th June, at the Sydney Stadium. You might say that it was a double knock-out that night. Tony Mundine flattened his opponent, Filipino Ravalo, in the second round with a right rip to the body. In another sense, the Eastern Suburbs railway, equally convincingly, knocked out the old Stadium after 62 years. It was the end of an era in Sydney boxing. Over thirty former boxing champions provided some sentimental moments for the crowd as they were introduced from the ring. They included names like Vic Patrick, Jackie Green, Jimmy Carruthers, Rocky Gattellari, George Barnes, Jack Hassen, Clive Stewart, Alf Blatch, George Bracken, Carlo Marchini, and Tony Madigan-all were there to take their cheers from the crowd. After the fight, Tony Mundine’s trainer, Ern McQuillan, announced that Tony was to go after the British Empire titles. He added that he was hoping that one of Mundine’s fights leading up to the Empire crown would be against New Zealand’s Kahu Mahanga. Mahanga was the only fighter who had beaten Mundine in a professional bout. Both Ern McQuillan’s and Snowy Robbin’s gyms have a large proportion of Aboriginal boxers. Some of the Aboriginal fighters who train at McQuillan’s Newtown gym include Ted Bonner, Les McHughes, Tony and Kevin Mundine, Bobby Taylor, and Ricky McGrady. The other major “Aboriginal gym” is that of Snowy Robbins, opposite the Rose of Australia hotel in Erskineville. It is run by Mick Fernandez and Jack Fliedner.

Now Frazier and Yank Durham, his trainer-manager are trying desperately to get a return fight with George Foreman, who stopped Joe in two rounds at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22. A Foreman-Frazier fight is one of the very few major attractions open for competition among the leading pro­ moters, all of whom are based in the United States. Efforts are being made in England to pull Joe Bugmer and Danny McAlinden into the Big Fight ranks but the impression exists in well informed circles that neither qualifies. Putting together the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, which were scattered to the winds by the Foreman victory over Frazier and the Ken Norton defeat of Ali, is a task which has eligible promoters stymied. Heavyweight champion George Foreman gets warm welcome from students at E. 0.

  • Australian Media Representations of Sport and Terrorism
    ‘Here be Dragons, Here be Savages, Here be bad Plumbing’: Australian Media Representations of Sport and Terrorism Professor Kristine Toohey, Department of Tourism, Leisure, Hotel and Sport Management Griffith University Australia Phone: 61 7 5552 9205 Fax: 61 2 5552 8507 Email: [email protected] Associate Professor Tracy Taylor, Graduate School of Business, University of Technology, Sydney Phone: 61 2 95143664 Fax: 61 2 95143557 Email: [email protected] Word length: 8408 1 Abstract As ‘Propaganda Theorists’ argue, an examination of key discourses can enhance our understanding of how economic, political and social debate is shaped by mainstream media reporting. In this article we present content and discourse analysis of Australian media reporting on the nexus of sport and terrorism. Examining newspaper reports over a five-year period, from 1996-2001, which included the 11 September 2001 terrorist tragedy in the United States (9/11), provides useful insights into how public discourse might be influenced with regard to sport and terrorism interrelationships. The results of the media analysis suggest that hegemonic tropes are created around sport and terrorism. The distilled message is one of good and evil, with homilies of sport employed in metaphors for western society and its values. The reactions and responses of sport administrators and athletes to terrorist acts and the threat of terrorism to sport are used to exemplify these ideals, providing newspaper readers a context within which to localize meaning and relevance. Keywords: terrorism, sport, media 2 Introduction In this paper we investigate both quantitative variances and qualitative nuances in Australian newspaper articles covering the topic of ‘sport’ and ‘terrorism’, pre and post the terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001 (known colloquially as 9/11).
