Kickett vs. St. Clair: The War Before

by Harry Summers, Perth, Australia

Western Australia’s “Cool Willie” Kickett, the best prospect Australia has produced in a long long time with a record of 10 Wins from 10 starts will take on the biggest fight of his career when he faces Gairy “Superman” St. Clair who has a record 40 Wins and 6 Losses on the Jeff Fenech v Azumah Nelson III promotion.

Kickett vs St. Clair will be the main support for this great trilogy, it should the main event of the night when the unbeaten star takes on the former IBF and IBO World Featherweight Champion Gairy St. Clair.

St. Clair lost his title in South African but is still on the verge of another title shot and is taking great risk fighting Kickett. St. Clair has only been defeated by World Champions such as Diego “Chico” Corrales, Leonard Dorin and Vivian Harris.

Kickett’s speed, reflex and skill matched against St. Clair should prove to be a great fight, which Australian boxing has lacked and needs more fights like this.

This fight added with the main event should generate one of the biggest pay per views Australia has ever seen.

So get ready to rumble Australia, I’ll be watching the war before.
