NANAIMO BOXING 1974


















Nanaimo boxing coach and former boxer Clark MacLellan and
some of the boxers for the November 2, 1974 boxing card.

NANAIMO BOXING CLUB FIGHT CARDS

The above is just one of many fight cards held at the St. Peter's Hall
in Nanaimo during the Seventies.  In the main event, Dan Wright
one of the co-founders of the Nanaimo Boxing Club was 
representing the Victoria club against North West Eagles boxer
NEIL MELROSE.  "Dynamite" Dan scored a convincing 
victory.  In 1973, Dan was a member of the NWE for a short time
before moving to Victoria.  Later he would move back to Nanaimo.
*In the semi-main event 
IAN WEIR would step in to 
replacer DON ORR to face
Nanaimo's CLARKE MCLELLAN.

Clarke would win the bout with
a decision.  Clarke was also one of
the boxing coaches of the club and 
worked with boxers such as 
Mickey Griffin.  *Previous match by
MacLellan was against Brian Zelley.
