Introduction
From clubs show to Olympic boxing, the years
1964 to 1968 provided a lot of exiting and excellent
moments. One of the important events is the

some based on luck or a mix of the two are
included on a Provincial team to compete.
Two important years for selection to the
Canadian Olympic Teams were 1964 and 1968 of which boxer
Walter Henry earned a spot in both years. In both cases the Ontario
boxer defeated boxers from British Columba to win his spot as
Canadian champion and Olympic boxer.
