There he was exposed to some of the hard truths of the boxing world, like unscrupulous promoters who made empty promises. Through sheer determination, he managed to stay afloat and soon the Black Panther (his name in the ring) started winning fights. When he was offered an opportunity to go boxing in Australia, he left the country in the mid-1990s and began to make a name for himself internationally. Once again, he faced many setbacks and challenges but eventually became a triple-world champion. A number of big names in local and international boxing circles feature in the book. Lovemore describes his awe at meeting Dingaan Thobela and Brian Mitchell, how he trained at Gerrie Coetzee's boxing centre on the East Rand and how, in later years, he was the main sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather during a stint in the USA. Never knocked out in 64 professional bouts, Ndou transitioned from combat in the ring to confrontation in the courtroom in a successful post-boxing career as a lawyer. Today he has his own practice in Sydney, Australia." -- $c Publisher's website. 600 10 $a Ndou, Lovemore. 650 0 $a Boxers (Sports) $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a South Africans $z Australia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Australia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lawyers $z Australia $v Biography. 650 7 $a Boxers (Sports) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837275 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 $a South Africans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127226 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CD4C0968FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
