As a reward, his adoring country even paid him a $1.6 million bonus. But Somluck's mercurial training habits caught up with him, and he was easily defeated in the Sydney quarterfinals. The former champ has made ends meet in recent years by hosting a TV game show, opening a BBQ restaurant and recording a hit album with two fellow fighters called Three Boxers Become Singers. Now, however, the 31-year-old is making his comeback after...
