No actually, I had no idea The "boxing kangaroo" is somewhat of a national icon though, despite the fact that they don't box, due to their kind of puny front arms.
Fun story though:
While not being able to box, kangaroos most certainly do use their front arms, since they're armed with quite sharp claws. My fiance's little brother found this out as a teenager, at a zoo.
Big kangaroo comes up to Matt, gets fed some food. Puts its arms on Matt's shoulders. Everyone goes "Awww, look it's giving Matt a hug". So cute.
Claws dig in, 'roo leans back on its tail, and kicks Matt in the chest, sending him flying a few meters back. Broke 2 ribs. The claws left full-on deep cuts in both of his shoulders. He still has the scars
