One of the best lighter weight fighters to lace up the gloves in the last thirty years, Jeff Fenech, finds himself in a tight spot after being arrested in the resort town of Broadbeach on Australia's Gold Coast and charged with allegedly shoplifting three watches with an alleged accomplice. Today the hall of famer pleaded not guilty in a local courtroom while an associate of his, Francis Grech, admitted taking the jewelry store merchandise and was duly fined by the authorities. Fenech vigorously denies the local police allegation that there was an arrangement between himself and Mr. Grech to acquire the watches without paying for them. No word yet on whether Fenech intends to pursue that matter in court.
