Carded Canadian boxers 1972 to 1984: by Brian Zelley

An important program of Boxing Canada was the process of carding experienced boxers that had a chance to compete in International tournaments.

Looking back to our Canadian amateur boxing history there is a long line of the carded boxers including Dale Anderson to Don Wilson. Some that maybe best remembered names are: Chris Clarke, Ian Clyde, Cleve Denny, and Lennox Lewis.                                  
BC boxers were: Derrick Hoyt, Chris Ius, Laurie Mann, Jamie Ollenberger, Glen Quocksister, Lawrence Rolfe, Danny Thompson and Dale Walters.                                                                                                                                                      But  what about Brian, Frank and Steve Nolan,  Then we go to the east with Wayne Gordon,  Calvin Lawrence and Carrol Morgan, 
Some others were Ken Johnson, George Mason, Kelly Perlette and Carmen Rinke.

There is another story before this one, but in this video we get to hear directly from Wyatt,
