Former Australian rugby league bad boy John Hopoate is finding success in his new career as a boxer.
Hopoate, who retired from rugby last year after receiving a 17-match ban for hitting an opponent from behind, made a spectacular professional debut in May by knocking out Frank Faasolo in less than a minute.
He made it two in a row on Friday with a fourth round stoppage of New Zealand heavyweight Alex Mene.
The 32-year-old former test winger's controversial past saw him banned for a variety of offences including pushing his fingers up the backsides of opposing players.
