A former star boxer who was mentored by Jeff Fenech has admitted setting fire to his father's house following his grandmother's death.
Jamie Bogovic, 35, pleaded guilty in the County Court to arson, theft and trespass on Tuesday, and has been remanded in custody until May 17.
Fenech took Bogovic under his wing in 2015, with Australia's greatest boxer impressed by the talent's undefeated record of six wins and no defeats.
His motto was 'train hard and win easy' and there was the genuine belief that Bogovic had the makings of a world champion.
However, Bogovic's pugilistic career fell apart when he started taking ice. He then went on a spree of criminal offending.
