“Australian lightweight champion from lil ol’ Swan Bay”
By Samantha Elley
Maddog boxing’s Sunny McLean has been going from strength to strength this past year, grabbing titles from each of the events he has been fighting in.
Sunny McLean and his coach, Scott Smith, who runs Maddox Boxing, were recently picked to represent Queensland as the fighter and coach team to compete in the national titles in Gosford.
Sunny won all his elimination bouts and beat the NSW champion in the gold medal fight, to become the newly crowned Australian champion in the lightweight division.
They were surprised with a visit from Jason and Andrew Moloney, world champion professional boxers.
“Every state in Australia was there with all the best fighters and the (Moloney brothers) came to support us, so we felt so special,” said Scott.
“They came to help me prepare Sunny for his last two fights in this event.”
Sunny was competing for Queensland as he already holds the title of QLD/NSW interstate champion.
“His first opponent, the referee stopped the fight in the 3rd round,” said Scott.
“His second opponent was the favourite from Tasmania and Sunny won that fight to go through for the gold medal against the NSW champion.
“Andy (co-trainer) and I worked out a plan to beat him and Sunny did exactly what he was asked and never last control of the situation.
“He is now the Australian lightweight champion from lil ol Swan Bay.”
