Canberra Boxing Bulletin
Edition 19 - July 2001
Next tournament 21 July at ANU Union
Our next show is on Saturday 21st July at the ANU Union building. Please note
this is a change from the advertised venue, as the Italo-Australian Club became
unavailable.
The ANU Union doors open 5.30pm, and bouts commence 6pm. Please park legally,
parking officers patrol the campus on weekends.
Boxers and coaches: Weighin is 12-2pm, medicals 4pm. You must have your
NSWABA registration up-to-date beforehand. This is possibly your last chance to
box in Canberra this year, as the October tournament has been cancelled because
of the re-scheduling of the national titles.
We will have the members of the Board of Management of the federal boxing
body (ABAI) as our guests on 21 July. It is particularly important that we have
a good turnout of local boxers competing, and a good audience rollup, as the
ABAI will shortly afterwards be making a critical decision affecting our future.
Please bring along as many of your friends and family as possible on 21 July, to
make this tournament our biggest & best.
Our last show at ANU on 2 June was well patronised and had an excellent
line-up of boxers competing in 15 bouts plus 3 exhibitions, including several
bouts featuring under-14 boxers. There were 9 local boxers on the programme, and
boxers from Sydney, Dubbo, Penrith, Batemans Bay, Oakdale, Bathurst, Newcastle,
Wagga Wagga and Richmond.
We were extremely pleased with the professional quality of the videotapes by
Duffco Productions, who will be taping the July show also. You can order tapes
from their booking table on the night.
Recent outcomes for local boxers—well
done all!

International debut for Canberra boxer at
Kings Cup in Thailand
Canberra heavyweight & NSW State Champion Michael
Ninness was selected for the Australian team to the Kings Cup in Thailand from
1-7 July. Michael lost his semi-final bout against Iran, but gains good
experience of international competition.
Southern Zone Titles
This year’s Southern Zone titles will be on Saturday 25
and Sunday 26 August in Richmond. There will be a novices division as well as an
open division. Pre-nomination is required. Futher details will be circulated to
coaches soon.
National Titles
This year it is the turn of New South Wales to host the
National Championships. Previously it had been announced that the event would be
held 2-4 November. NSWABA has now moved this event forward to 12-14 October, at
the Chester Hill RSL.
Regrettably this clashes with our scheduled tournament on 13 October, which
must therefore be cancelled. An alternative date may be found for another
Canberra show, and if so this will be notified in the next newsletter.
Anyone planning to attend the State or National titles (both at Chester Hill
RSL) should consider arranging accommodation well in advance as there may be
difficulty getting rooms. We have details of accommodation options, and the
option of pooling funds to travel up in a rented minibus will be considered.
Boxer registration
Anyone not yet registered and financial who wishes to box anywhere
this year should sort out their registration immediately. Call Tony on 6292
1149 for a form. Do not leave registration till the day of the tournament, it
causes significant delays to the weigh-in process, and inconveniences your
fellow athletes and their coaches.
Referee/Judge course
Anyone interested in doing referee/judge training in the
coming months should contact Tony Whelan on 6292 1149 immediately.
Smoke-Free Policy
There have been repeated complaints about smoking being
permitted at some NSW tournaments. ACT Boxing has now formally requested the
Southern Zone to implement a smoke-free policy and we have also asked the
national body (ABAI) to implement such a policy binding on all state
associations. We will report progress on this in a subsequent edition of this
newsletter.
