Can anyone remember attending Maple Leaf boxi g club in basement of Merton Grove in 1960s ? Dave Rent was running the club when I attended and boxed for the club in tournaments throughout Northwestern region . Remember a few lads that boxed including Micky Talent & Charlie ? Denis May was the eldest boxer with visits from
Jonny Cook the welterweight champion who would spar with young lads .
