Exciting Boxing Bouts
A particular feature of the Gisborne Boxing Association's programme for 1975 was the tournament held in the Y.M.C.A. Stadium on June 22. Some exciting and provocative bouts were fought with fourteen fights being staged in all. Boxers from the Gisborne area, as well as Wairoa, Wellington and Auckland, were on hand to take part in the tournament.
