By refereeing 45 rounds of a 120-round boxing match in Sydney, a Filipino-Australian journalist helped Anglican priest - Father Dave "Fighting Padre" Smith - set a Guinness World Record.

According to a report of the news site The Filipino Australian, Smith, 50, recently set a new Guinness record for the most number of continuous rounds of boxing.
