Laured Stewart leaves for two year Australian boxing stint
The lack of frequent boxing cards has impacted negatively on local boxers and many of them are either throwing in the towel

or attempting to procure activity in other countries. This is so true of Lennox Allen, Gary St Clair and Leon ‘Hurry Up’ Moore among others, who have sought to improve their fortunes in the USA and Australia.
Another boxer, Laured Stewart has recently decided to follow the trail of his predecessors and is scheduled to leave these shores for Australia on a two year stint that will see him attempting to procure meaningful bouts on his way to international acclaim.
Stewart leaves Guyana early tomorrow morning on a stopover flight to the USA and subsequently continues to Australia where he is scheduled to commence his boxing sojourn under the wings of Peter Metriviski, a former three-time Australian Lightweight champion.
Kaieteur Sport spoke with Stewart yesterday morning and he said that he is delighted to have received such a chance to improve his boxing prowess. He said that former World Champion, Gary ‘Acid’ St. Clair, now residing in Australia, has been instrumental in his fortunes. He said that he will be trained by Johnny Lewis, best known for working with six World Champions, most notably, Jeff Fenech and Costya Tszyu.
Lewis is one of Australia’s most successful boxing trainers and in 2006 was inducted into the Australian Boxing Hall of Fame. He currently trains three top Australian pugilists, King Davidson, Leroy Brown and Luke Helm. Lewis currently operates at the Corporate Fitness Centre in Sydney, Australia.
Stewart is a relatively young professional with a 2-0 record. He won both, earning a lopsided points decision over Anson Greene in his debut fight July last year while stopping Eversley Browne in the first round in September of the same year on debut. Before that, Stewart had amassed an amateur record of 37 wins with 8 losses.
