FOLLOWING THE BOXING BUZZ: by brian zelley
"Canadian Boxiana"
*One of the interesting sites on-line is the "Canadian Boxiana"
founded by and editor-in-chief G M ROSS. Some of the
contributors from across the nation include those such as
Durell Wambolt (Ontario) and Darren Hauck & Jamie Taylor
(Alberta). There does not seem to be any contributors from
British Columbia but there are various folks that write
about boxing in British Columbia for different media
outlets.
The "Boxiana" stories:
There have been a good collection of stories, and they do
not always involve the high profile pro boxers. Sometimes
the refer to a club or a gym, and sometimes an amateur boxer.
Two examples of these type of articles include:
1. "Sad News for Halifax Boxing: Palooka's
Gym Closing it' Doors: Sept 30".
2. then there was an article on amateur boxer
Brody Pigeon, of Lamb's Boxing Club in Regina.
There are many more stories which will be reviewed
on a random basis and any of extreme importance or
is very interesting, will be mentioned on this site.
