Jeff Horn was Australia’s best performing boxer at the London Olympics, making it to the quarter-final stage where he went down to Ukranian Denys Berinchyk 21-13. Horn took up boxing at the late age of 18 and immediately became one of Australia's top contenders in the Light Welterweight division. He claimed his first Australian U/64kg title after beating David Biddle in a 9-1 points victory in the final of the 2009 Australian Championship.
