LIFE and TIMES of PRO BOXING in WESTERN CANADA

BRITISH COLUMBIA PRO BOXING: by Brian Zelley





Looking back there have been many names in the game.
Some names from the Forties would include the likes of
Kenny Lindsay, Frank and Stan Almond, Jackie Turner
and many more, but other earlier names include those
such as JIMMY MCLARNIN, BILLY TOWNSEND
and TOMMY PAONESSA.

As we move forward in time many other boxers
would be part of the pro boxing scene in the
Pacific Northwest such as LENNIE WALTERS
 HAROLD MANN and JIMMY WALTERS.
 Others would follow over the years. Some names oF 
 interest include:
GORD RACETTE, JAMIE OLLENBERGER and
GORDIE LAWSON but we cannot forget others
such as MICHAEL OLAJIDE jR.,  TONY PEP,
DALE WALTERS, MANNY SOBRAL nd others.
