Outspoken AFL premiership player Kane Cornes has gone the distance in his professional boxing debut, surviving to be a comfortable runner-up to fellow footy commentator Nathan Brown. The pair met on a card stacked with AFL personalities ahead of Gather Round in Adelaide.
Kane Cornes wears big blows from Nathan Brown in boxing debut. North Melbourne’s dual premiership player Corey McKernan was knocked out by Collingwood goalkicking great Sav Rocca, while Dane Swan defeated his former Pies teammate Dale Thomas. Ex-Richmond man Kayne Pettifer was the rare former AFL player on the card with previous pro boxing experience, having won three fights so far, though he lost to debutant Mitch Robinson. But it was the Cornes-Brown fight that most eyes were trained on.
