The Golden Gloves in British Columbia began in 1939 and
one boxer is selected as the GOLDEN BOY.
From 1939 - PHIL VICKERY to 2010 DYLAN BISHOP, there have
been an interesting group including USA boxers RAY LAMPKIN
and NEIL KNIGHT.
Multi-winners:
a select few have earned the distinction of being
a multi winner including
DICK FINDLAY, JAMIE OLLENBERGER and ALLAN BAYNE.
The 1945 Golden Boy was CHESTER ORR and in 1955 it was TRENT KETCHESON.
Some of the others were norm delaire, eddie haddad, barnie grace,
don gehring, mickey mazur, jack strazza, kalman santosi, david ius,
derrick hoyt, ron paskie,wesley sunshine, jim worral, troy nelson,
kevin reynolds, brennan lowrie and matt bulteel.
1968 - a near DICK FINDLAY hat trick, but at the end of
the tournament Dick was golden boy runner-up while
Portland boxer Ray Lampkin was the
winner and golden boy after his finals victory over
Vancouver's hometown east end boxer WAYNE BOYCE.
Vancouver Sun reporter DAVID EMPEY:
- but it all came down to either Findlay or Ray Lampkin...
...It was LAMPKIN, the quick and tough featherweight
from Portland's Knott Street, who knocked Wayne Boyce
flat on his face with a left hook and right cross, then
blasted him with sizzling jabs and hooks
2010 GOLDEN BOY
Dylan Bishop earned the award based on his victoria over
JORDAN BAIRD of Olson's Gym. Bishop is a member of
the Maple Ridge Boxing Club.
