FORMER World Champion, Guyana’s Gairy St Clair, will be inducted into Australia’s Boxing Hall-of-Fame.
At the end of his illustrious career where he’s one of the country’s most decorated fighters, St Clair’s record stood at 45 wins (18 by knockout), 12 losses, two draws.

St Clair turned pro after he represented Guyana at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in British Columbia, Canada, and made his debut at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall with a win over Nigel Boston. In 1998, after fighting unbeaten for four years, St Clair fought the legendary Diego Corrales, but despite a good showing, the American exited the ring with a unanimous decision win.

However, St Clair returned to Guyana to claim the country’s National super featherweight title by beating Vincent Howard at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in 1999.
But unanimous decision defeats to Vivian Harris in 1999 and Leonard Dorin in 2000, certainly didn’t hold St Clair back.

During his unbeaten run from 2001 – 2006, St Clair picked up the International Boxing Federation Pan Pacific Super Featherweight title and World Boxing Organisation Inter-Continental Featherweight title, both of which he successfully defended.

In 2006, St Clair capped a superb showing in the ring by beating South African Cassius Baloyi in South Africa to take the IBF World Super Featherweight and IBO World Super Featherweight World Titles.
In St Clair’s last fight, in 2013, he won via unanimous decision against Roberto Oyan.
