Nanaimo Boxing Club

[Zelley]

How do you know about the Nanaimo Boxing Club.

The club was started in 1971.

Over the years there have been many changes in coaches and locations.

It replaced the Newcastle Boxing Club which operated between 1963 and 1968.

The Nanaimo Boxing Club like many long running clubs has an interesting history,
but the current members likely are not aware about those early days of 1971 to 1974.

Following my involvement with the club, I helped revive boxing in Victoria, BC
A club called the London Boxing club would be changed with the formation of
the Victoria Athletic Association in 1976.
