Jack Della Maddalena, the Perth boxer who stopped early and often
Jack Della Maddalena was born in Perth and played rugby from the age of eight. He joined a boxing gym at fourteen, influenced by his older brother Josh, and turned to full-time MMA after his rugby career ended. His professional record started with two losses, a TKO to Aldin Bates and a submission to Darcy Vendy, followed by a nine-fight winning streak and the Eternal welterweight title. He earned a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2021, and his first three wins in the big promotion all came by first-round TKO.

Boxing at 93 is the pick
Boxing is his best number at 93. The record shows why. He stopped Rodriguez, Emeev and Roberts inside a round each, then finished Gilbert Burns in round three in March 2024 for another Performance of the Night. He also beat Muhammad, a wrestler with elite cardio, over five rounds to win the title. Few welterweights have started a run with this many quick finishes.
BJJ at 78 and the ground
BJJ is his lowest rating at 78. His second professional fight, in 2016, ended by first-round submission to Darcy Vendy. That was long ago and he has not lost that way since, but the number still shows where a grappler would attack. Islam Makhachev beat him by unanimous decision in November 2025 to take the title, and Carlos Prates stopped him in round three in May 2026.
