A NEW DECADE THE SEVENTIES: by Brian Zelley
The 1970 Champions:
There would be some former
champions from the Sixties
and some new faces.
Neil Austin from 1969 would
return in 1970 along with
new champions from BC
by the name of Joe Cooke
Darryl Olsen and Jack Meda.
Some other champions from
the pre-1969 period would
return including
Freddy Fuller and Frank Scott.
A boxer from the east would be
Ray Doiron and another that
would return in the future was
Marvin Arneson.
For some of the boxers there
are extensive records, but for
others there are limited sources to tell their stories.
