Upcoming Manx boxer: 'My brother is a big inspiration'

Sam Rennie looking to forge out own path in Australia

An upcoming Manx boxer has told Manx Radio he wants to 'follow' in the footsteps of his brother as he prepares for his second professional fight.

Sam Rennie, younger brother of Mathew 'Magic' Rennie, is in his first year as a professional and already has aspirations of making it in the sport. 

The 22-year-old made his debut back in March, after moving to Australia two years ago, and won his first fight with wins in each round. 

Initially Sam intended on sightseeing in the country but is now set to take on Indonesian fighter Dedi Elite tomorrow night in Perth (29 November) at 8pm local time - you can watch the fight here
