My Story

Lionel Edward Rose MBE (21 June 1948–8 May 2011) was an Australian bantamweight boxer, the first indigenous Australian to win a world title.

In 2003 he was an inaugural inductee in the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame. Rose's boxing gloves featured in a 2005 Australia Post stamp issue. In 2005 Rose was awarded the Ella Lifetime Achievement Award for Contribution to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sport.
