Welcome to Platinum Boxing Club’s Christmas Party.
We have had a Massive but successful year where we have had athletes compete in the Cantebury Open in New Zealand, Queensland State Titles and the Australian Championships as well as our Professional Boxer competing on the World Stage.
Michael Johnston, Ethan Hartwig & Jessica Retallack winning Queensland State Championships; Ethan and Michael winning Australian Titles and Jessica winning the Silver Medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games selection trials. Sam Beck and Lani Davis winning the Canterbury open in New Zealand and Andrae Qelo representing Queensland vs Adelaide in the State of Origin event and also winning the Queensland Novice Championships.
After a run of injuries, it has been great to have Rohan Murdock back competing this year – first in October winning by 3rd Round KO at the Brisbane Convention Centre and then on Wednesday night – 13th December 2017 – representing Platinum Boxing Club on the world stage winning the WBO Oriental Super Middle Weight Title, and putting us back in World Title Contention. We now look forward to fighting in the United States of America in early February 2018.
Rohan Murdock wins WBO Oriental Super Middle Weight Title against the European Super Middle Champion via unanimous decision.
I would just like to thank all our friends, family, sponsors and our awesome club members. It has been an absolute pleasure to see how much you all support each other in the club. We are looking forward to a bigger and better 2018.
So, from Dawn and myself thank you very much.
“The party was so much fun and everyone let their hair down (especially coach) and had a wonderful time.”
Check out the video which we hope captures snap shots of the awesome evening.
