Lester-Ellis
Lester Ellis (born 15 March 1965 in Blackpool, England) is a boxer, who lives in Melbourne, Australia. He was world boxing champion in the WBF Welterweight division 1993, IBO Light Welterweight (aka Super Lightweight) division in 1994, IBO Lightweight division in 1995.
Ellis earned early success as an amateur, winning the Australian Bantamweight Championship before turning professional in 1983. The young fighter, now fighting in the Junior Lightweight division, went through 1983 and 1984 undefeated, finishing 1984 by winning the Commonwealth title from Zambian, John Sichula.
His rapid progress reached a peak on February 15, 1985 in Melbourne when he challenged the Korean, Hwan Kil Yuh, for the IBF Junior Lightweight title. After 15 gruelling rounds, Ellis was the new world champion.
However boxing can be a fickle sport, and his meteoric rise up the ranks was equally rapid on the way down. Just five months later, Lester Ellis, after one successful title defence against Rod Sequenan, lost the world crown to another Victorian, Barry Michael. Ellis fought on for a number of years and won another world title of sorts by securing the WBF welterweight belt.
An aggressive, hard puncher, he was always an attractive drawcard in Australia.
He attempted suicide on 27 May 2006 by attempting to jump in front of several cars and a train. He is currently facing three counts of assault and one count of affray.
