FREDDY's BOXING CLUB JOURNEY

FROM MY OWN EYES LOOKING AT THE PERFORMANCE OF FREDDY: By Brian W, Zelley.

*Six days after the trip to Seattle, it was another road trip to Victoria.
but it would be fancy footwork and jabs at the Club Tango not a
slow waltz or the fox trot March 29, 1968.


Along the way, for a time, Freddy belonged to some of the best boxing clubs in
BRITISH COLUMBIA including the Burnaby Boxing, East Vancouver Optimists Boxing,
Northwest Eagles and Vancouver Firefighters Boxing Club. It was in January 1968,
when Freddy fought for the first time with the red and white in the corner with
the Firefighters coaches in a club show and for me it was my second after joining
the Firefighers in September. And, I don't remember the exact date when Freddy
shiftedd from the North West Eagles to the Firefighters.

But others were also on the move in this game of musical chairs in September 1967
to January 1968. Frank Scott shifted from Burnaby to train at the Firefighters.
Dick Findlay left the Firefighters to train at the East Vancouver Optimists.
Les Vegas left Victoria's London Boxing Club to train with Findlay at the EVO
while Bill Taylor shifted from the London Boxing Club to Astoria, and I left Nanaimo's Newcastle Boxing Club to join Freddy, Frank on the move to train with the likes of
Dave Wylie, Nicky MacDonald, John Carr, John Gamble and others in what was to be one wild ride of club shows and tournaments in the Olympic year.

FREDDY FULLER's GOLDEN GLOVES

FREDDY 'Golden Boy" FULLER.
From 1963 to 1970, Fuller was
one of the best BC Boxers to
compete in British Columbia
and other places including
Seattle and Edmonton, Alberta.
And, was one of the boxers in
demand at the Seattle Golden Gloves.

In the photo about the 1968
Seattle Golden Gloves and
Pacific Northwest AAU
Championships it mentions
the 18 other BC boxers but
at the end of the two day
tournament FULLER won the day.

From the 1963 and 1965 headlines, it was only the beginning
but Vancouver's FREDDY FULLER proved his worth and walked
the "Road of Excellence" as the Jr. BC Golden Boy in 1963
and was named open senior BC GOLDEN BOY in 1965 and
cemented the special recognition from an outstanding victory
over the experienced veteran BUDDY PALMER in '65.
But, that was only the beginning as action would continue into 1970
when he appeared and won in the 1970 BC Golden Gloves which was
for the first time hosted by the British Columbia Amateur Boxing
Association (now called BOXING BC)
