The boy from Mackay is now a two-time World Champion πŸ†πŸ₯Š Congratulations Liam "The Prodigy" Paro

πŸ† CONGRATS TO OUR WORLD CHAMP, LIAM PARO!

Overnight Mackay's own Liam Paro claimed his second IBF World Championship.

Paro went 12 rounds in Brisbane in the welterweight division against Lewis Crocker, claiming a close but unanimous decision from the judges.

In 2024 Paro scored an upset World Championship win in the super lightweight division against Subriel Matias.

A world championship belt in two weight classes is an incredible achievement!

Well done, Liam!

In a world of peak performance, how can you be the best at seven sports? 29/05/2026

In a world of peak performance, how can you be the best at seven sports? Elite athletes are constantly striving for perfection β€” an extra millisecond shaved off their time or another centimetre on their distance β€” but for heptathletes like Tori West, the equation is a little bit harder.
