About Te Awamutu Boxing Academy
Billy Graham
Billy Graham born in Naenae, New Zealand was the winner of four New Zealand titles at light welterweight, plus an Australasian title and the Jameson Belt.
Trained by the legendary Dick Dunn, Billy's amateur career was outstanding. Billy didn't turn pro but in the late 1960s Bob Jones wrote the following about young Billy:
“Wellington boxing fans should mark down young Billy Graham in the back of their minds as a future professional champion who will fill their Town Hall, for the Hutt Valley boxer is showing all the signs of following in the footsteps of two post-war greats in Barry Brown and Manuel Santos. At 18, Billy Graham in the nick of time for the W.B.A, who currently sadly lacks a local hero, is an amateur prospect with all the necessary qualifications to make the grade in the professional ring after perhaps another year in the amateurs.”
When he was 28 his coach told him it was time to stop boxing. Billy left boxing after 20 years in the ring. At the age of 57 Billy founded the Naenae Boxing Academy in Naenae, New Zealand.
