BOXING 1969 to 1999

THE CHAMPIONS: by brian zelley

Introduction:

To fully understand the history of Boxing Canada, it is important to focus

on the National champions in the senior open category.  One of the

ideal methods is to look at the champions from 1969 to 1999.  There have

been many including a number that have been multi-term champions, but

many that won a title in only one year.

This blog will attempt to review all of the champions and tell a part of their boxing 
stories and their boxing journey.  For some there have been extensive stories, but
for many they are just names on a page with little historical documentation.

Some of the boxers over the years:

1969 The Beginning of the Canadian boxing story:

*The first group of champions for the period between 1969 and 1999

would include two-time Olympic boxer Walter Henry from Ontario

and young BC boxer Neil Austin from BC' s Langley Boxing Club.

Another BC boxer would be Pat O'Reilly jr. from the long-time

Hastings Boxing Club of east Vancouver that was formed by coach

Pat O'Reilly sr.
