Boxing: George Rose gives an update on Tim Tszyu after his emphatic world title win over Brian Mendoza.
After losing to fellow Australian heavyweight Justis Huni in June last year, Joe Goodall was left wondering where the next opportunity would come from.
One of those finishes came in his last fight when Goodall, a major underdog going into the bout, dropped and stopped Stephan Shaw for the first time in his career. In fact, he even enlisted the help of an old foe and a man many consider to be Australia’s pound-for-pound champion to ensure he was ready to battle Ajagba.“I was sparring Jai Opetaia, I was sparring Justis Huni. I was keeping fit in the gym and that enabled me to take up this opportunity.
“It gives me inspiration as well to see another Aussie do well. Why wouldn’t I want to see another Australian boxer do well?It is that collective mindset among the Aussie trio which Goodall will channel once he steps between the ropes on Sunday.
