BOXING fans will have a chance to meet world champion Jeff Horn later this month.

The Battle of Brisbane victor is headed to Warwick Town Hall for the Mayor's Leadership event on October 20.

Mr Horn, who was crowned world welterweight champion after defeating Manny Pacquiao in Brisbane in July, will speak on the theme of the function: focus and determination.

Rose City Boxing Club trainer Damien Lawler said he was in the crowd at Suncorp Stadium to see the former school teacher take on Pacquiao.

Mr Lawler said he was surprised to learn the star athlete was coming to the Rose City.

"Myself and one of my fighters went down to watch that fight and it was a great experience just to watch a very humble fighter take the world title, it's very well deserved,” he said.

"Usually people would have to go overseas to meet a world champion fighter but we've got one in our own backyard.

"It's great to see boxing become more prominent since Horn's become a champion fighter.

"It's going to be a great opportunity for anyone to listen to him, not just in the sport of boxing.”

Mayor Tracy Dobie said hosting Mr Horn was a major coup for the Southern Downs.

"Jeff is an outstanding athlete and an inspirational man who has achieved greatness from humble beginnings,” Cr Dobie said.

"It will be fascinating to hear about Jeff's journey and what drives him to achieve success.

"All boxers are tough and to find out what makes Jeff a champion will be inspirational for our community.”
