Indonesian boxing star Chris John said yesterday he was retiring two weeks after being dethroned as the world featherweight champion in his first ever loss in an astonishing career. Known as “The Dragon”, John won the World Boxing Association featherweight crown in 2003 and defended it 18 times. But the 34-year-old finally lost the title to South African Simpiwe Vetyeka on December 6 in Perth, Australia, throwing in the towel after six rounds. John fought 52 bouts and racked up 48 wins, three draws and just one loss.
