Michael Katsidis

Michael Alan Katsidis is an Australian former professional boxer who competed from 2001 to 2017. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim lightweight title twice between 2007 and 2010, and challenged twice for the lineal lightweight title in 2008 and 2010. At the peak of his career in the late 2000s, Katsidis' crowd-pleasing and aggressive pressure fighting style often drew comparisons with the late Arturo Gatti.
