Get behind Wale Omotoso
VIDEO PLAYING: Wale Omosoto in action before Sly Of The Underworld and Barry Michael's wild bout last year.
3AW Breakfast wants to help a talented young boxer reach his full potential
At the last Pancake Parlor Challenge Ross and John met Wale Omotoso – also known as “Lucky Boy”. This young man from Nigeria who now calls Australia home inspired Ross and John with his story of survival and impressed with his love and appreciation for this great country.
Ross and John agreed after meeting this fighter that they would do what they could to help him reach his full potential.
He's got great skills and is so far undefeated. But in order to get to the next level and become a true champion he needs more training, bigger fights, tougher competitors and funding to make it all happen.
Please read the below background to Wale Omotoso, the Fighter Factory and details of the sponsorship opportunities.
3AW Breakfast will kick the campaign off during their program July 28th. More about Wale below images.
A little more about Wale:
The experts say Wale has a real chance to become a World Champion. His record stands at 17 bouts for 17 wins, 15 by way of knockout. He is the number one ranked Australian welterweight, and holds the Australian title and the OPBF title. He is ranked 27 in the world and 13th by the International Boxing Federation.
Trainer Murray Thomson says Wale could be his Phar Lap. There is already substantial interest in a television documentary on their journey.
Frankly, Wale is too good for local boxers, so he needs financial support to fund a series of fights to extend him to the point he can make his mark on the world stage.
Ross and John are determined to support Wale's journey. We believe that with generous donations from corporate Victoria Wale could evolve from a suburban sensation to World Champion, and you can be a part of that.
How can you help?
A trust fund has been set up to support Wale's efforts to become a world champion boxer, it will be operated by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers and the trustee will be John 'Sly' Silvester.
There are three sponsorship options on offer, each of which rewards businesses for their support:
GOLD SPONSORSHIP $10,000
Lunch with Ross, John and Sly of the Underworld for 5 guests nominated by your business
Corporate Day training session (max 20 people) at the Fighter Factory in Blackburn
Fighter Factory t-shirts
SILVER SPONSORSHIP $5,000

Saw Wale's last fight. He's brilliant, very fast, determined and a great guy. He's got everything it needs to become a World Champion.
Come on Australia give him the support he needs, he will make us proud
We wish him the very best of Luck.Elfi Tuesday 27 July, 2010 - 12:51 PM -
Instead of donations, why doesn't he get a decent trainer? Someone who has trained world champions...makes more sense in my opinion.
