Boxing Setbacks in 2020: by Brian Zelley


 Covid 19 is a staggering Blow for boxing and other sports, but despite the setbacks there have been some positives including the revival of amateur boxing by the Nanamo Boxing Club.  Coach Barry Creswell has retired, but the club has been revived with four new coaches. At the end of August 2021, the club will reach the completion of 50 years since the formation in 1971 by Brian Zelley and Dan Wright, with help from George Nepper and John Ormandy
