Stalwart boxing supporter and North Shore resident, Dave Cameron, is handing over a rare boxing trophy to Auckland Boxing.
The trophy, for the most successful trainer in the amateur champs, was first awarded in 1926 was last awarded in 1956.
Dave said the trophy was awarded annually and should have been returned to The Northern Boxing Association at end of each year.
However, the trophy was found under a house in South Auckland a couple of years ago and ended up on Dave's doorstep. Dave is a collector of boxing memorabilia but he is handing this one over.
Have you found a piece of New Zealand history under your house?

Free nz standard size cot. Used for our two children. No mattress. Solid wood.

My husband started stripping it but never completed it for repaint! Someone else’s project now.

Apparently the knobs should be removed and the protruding bolts to meet today’s safety standards.

Lovely for a display or can be brought up to spec very easily.
