90 Second Champion is a biographical documentary about the boxing career of the Northern Territory of Australias Light Middleweight Champion John Siriotis. In telling his story John provides his personal perspective on Australian boxing from the late 70s and 80s and some of the shame decisions that plagued his career and his attempts at winning Australian titles.
John Siriotis pursued a professional boxing career from the late 70s to the early 90s, he maintained a consistently high rating in the sport, was respected and held in high regard by many of his peers, including Jeff Fenech, Jeff Harding, Peter Mitrevski, prominent trainers Ernie McQuillan, Johnny Lewis OAM, and the late great Ray Mitchell a former world title judge, television commentator, and boxing historian.
In an extraordinary and very controversial decision, never before seen in the history of the sport Johns attempt at winning the Australian and Australasian Light Middleweight Title, was denied despite being announced as the winner in a ferocious bout with New Zealander Steve Renwick in 1987.
More importantly, 90 Second Champion is a uniquely Australian story which tells of how a single passionate boxer managed to inspire and encourage a greater local following of the sport in the late 1980s. It is also the story of a struggling migrant finding paradise amongst the tolerant people of the NT.
From his humble beginnings growing up in the rough suburb of Erskinville in Sydney New South Wales as a migrant in the late 60s and early 70s. A brush with the law saw John sent to Darwin by his concerned parents in 1975 as Darwin was being rebuilt after the devastation of Cyclone Tracy. John describes the effect of racial vilification while growing up in the mean streets of Sydney, and his experience as a boxer, the undertones of corruption prevalent in the sport, the shame decisions that come into play as the stakes get higher in the sport and a thought provoking but subtle look at how champions are selected.
John attempted to win an Australian title on six occasions throughout his career, but was thwarted in part by bad luck, bad management decisions and blatant corruption. John provides a subtle glimpse into some of the activities that occur in the background to influence the outcome of a bout.
Despite the personal setbacks John maintains a positive view of the sport and its role in society and continues to be a guiding influence on all young boxers interested in the sport. He has trained several medal winning athletes competing in Australian and State Boxing Titles and in the Arafura Games which is now recognised as a leading international sporting competition for the Asia Pacific region.
