years of Boxing in Melbourne town.
Henry Nissen is one deserving fighter that gave
Melbourne boxing fans so much during his career
and is still doing what he does best which is
charity work for homeless and other people
needing help with life.
Henry is one of the nicest guys on the planet, a
thorough champion in much more than can ever be
expected of him.

***VIDEO NOW ADDED***
YVB
is now
showing a video of this glorious evening on this website now
that it has been edited and produced.
This was without a doubt the best of all
gala dinners to date and was held in the heart of Melbourne's
main sports stadium "Melbourne Cricket Ground" also known as the
MCG where the grand final of the AFL took place.
The
President Gus Mercurio, Brett Mc'Cormick and Frank Marr
the Vice President and secretary (in that order) were the main
organizers of this unforgettable evening.
Australia's cream of Boxing's legends gathered all in one place
and were happy to sign autographs for everyone that requested.

The video is not professionally
made and really a memorable night for the writer but it is
worthwhile seeing as some great fighters had been present.
