:May 1956 - Kangaroo Maoto has been a fighter all his
May 1956 - Kangaroo Maoto has been a fighter all his life! - He was a thug, tough, reckless, until his mother got the brain-wave to encourage him to take up boxing and sweat off his energy there. Eating Avocado pears helped him build up weight. Skinny and weakly in early youth, Kangaroo grew up in a rough and tough area in Alexandra township -the Dark city. Tiny in body as I was, I just had to force myself rough and tough too. What could I do? I had to grow up, hadn't I? (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
