Nanaimo Boxing Club

Yes.

Cool, so am I.

Did you ever belong to any of the boxing clubs on the Island.

No, I used to do some recreational boxing at Peterec's in Victoria, but that's it.

Interesting! Aside from the non-amateur boxing activity at the gym,
there is or was an amateur boxing program of which one of the coaches
is a former Seventies boxer from the Nanaimo Boxing Club, the other coach
boxed in the Crofton area in the Eighties.

Was that the Nanaimo Boxing Club, and do you know what years
did he train.

Over the years a number of folks that have been involved with the Nanaimo Boxing Club have moved on to coach or organize in other locations such as
Comox, Victoria and Prince George.

On the sour side, in my opinion, is some folks involved in Nanaimo
amateur boxing decided to participate or promote "tough guy contests" in the Eighties. My main problem with those competitions is they pose
a serious risk issue. because you could have competitors with no experience and others with much experience meeting in competition.

Go Canada!

Right on!
