* As we step back in time to the end of the Seventies, the
Nanaimo Boxing Card staged their last fight card December 1979.
The first fight card on the club would take place in early 1972.
THE LAST FIGHT CARD: Pre-Christmas show at St. Peters
Clubs engaged in action were Nanaimo, Victoria, Queensborough,
and the Richmond boxing clubs.
Some of the Nanaimo boxers would include junior novice
Wade Marling who faced Victoria's Paul Deluca, and in the
main event was LEE CAMPBELL who had scored three
knockouts in a tournament earlier in the year would face
Victoria's PERRY EVANS. This close fight between
knockout puncher Campbell and the slick boxer Evans
would be selected as the best bout of the night with the
outsider Evans winning a split decision.
Then there was
sensation CLIFF BALLENDINE vs GORDIE IVERS.
