GAIRY `Superman’ St Clair was 22 years old and undefeated in nine fights when he collided with American Frederick Suswell on April 11, 1997.The six-round contest was staged at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in New Jersey, USA and the flashy St Clair won via TKO in the third round.

It was the fifth in the USA for the Guyanese and the second time he engaged in a battle at that venue. St Clair had six more bouts before his first loss.
Coming against Diego `Chico’ Corrales on December 18, 1998, St Clair put up a game performance, but lost on points to his more experienced opponent.
While Corrales won the International Boxing Federation (IBF) super featherweight title three fights later, `Superman’ had to endure a nine-year wait to finally earn the champion belt. On July 29, 2006 St Clair joined Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis, Wayne `Big Truck’ Braithwaite and `Vicious’ Vivian Harris as male Guyanese boxers to win world titles.
He defeated South African Cassius Baloyi to snatch both the IBF and International Boxing Organisation super featherweight titles, an emulation of a feat done by Harris in 2002. St Clair turned 40 in February and is still active in his adopted country Australia.
He won the last four fights and built a record of 46 victories, 12 defeats and two draws.
