ReplyDeleteTHE LAST FEATHERWEIGHT - 1964
ReplyDeleteThroughout Vancouver Island, there have been many amateur
boxers to fight in the featherweight division since 1964,
but the strange thing is none have been declared featherweight
champion of Vancouver Island.
Twenty years later in 1984, there was an opportunity for
somebody to step into the ring at Parksville for the
1984 Vancouver Island Amateur Boxing Championships.
But there were no junior, intermediate or senior featherweights.
After 1984, there have been some tournament and many club shows
and even a Canadian senior tournament in 2000, but none of these
qualified as Vancouver Island Amateur Boxing Championships.
So, another 25 years have faded, and still there no more
featherweight champions of Vancouver Island. So, I watch
and wait.
