Brock Jarvis’ beginnings
Boxing was not the first sporting vocation of the young Jarvis who until the age of 15 dreamed of becoming a professional rugby player. Together with his teammates he went to the Cronulla gym to integrate the specific training adding some boxing 101 fundamentals, in order to strengthen his physique and have better performances on the rugby pitch.
Slowly Jarvis begins to become familiar with this new sport and training routine, having a lot of fun, working hard and dedicating himself completely to boxing considering that his weight and physique would not allow him to practice rugby as a professional.
Given the boy's skill and passion for boxing, at the age of 16, his father took Brock Jarvis to meet Jeff Fenech, a family friend since Brock's grandmother was the champion's trusted nutritionist when he was a professional boxer. From that moment, given Jarvis' skill despite his teenager physique, the former Australian boxer took the youngster under his wing.
Jarvis’ professional debut in 2015
In December 2015, at the age of 18, it was time for him to make his professional debut, which took place in Bangkok (Tha), where he won the match against Ekkawit Thongmee on points. In March 2019, in Australia, Brock Jarvis won the IBF Youth Bantamweight Belt against Philip Luis Cuerdo by KO in the first round.
