Border City Boxing Club is Born!
As the Ren-Cen Boxing Club dissolved in 1987, its former members dreamed of starting a new kind of Boxing Club in Windsor. Doug Bedard had been running his independent club out of his Marentette Road basement since resigning as Head Coach of the Windsor Boxing Club when he was approached by Bill White about becoming Head Coach of this new club. Bringing with him his proteges, Josh Canty and Richard Santarossa, Doug became Head Coach of the newly formed Border City Boxing Club. The Club was located at the Harmony in Action building in Remington Park, Windsor.
