Bobby Dunne
Bobby Dunne won a 'Golden Gloves' amateur title and went on to become the Commonwealth Featherweight Champion 1972-74 as a professional.
For most of his life, Bobby was a counsellor, friend, confidant and father figure to several hundred young people within juvenile justice centres. Bobby had the common touch and won the hearts and minds of young people looking for a direction in their lives. His energy and optimism were contagious, and his presence rapidly attracted people from all walks of life who recognised his sincerity and his integrity.
He died in November 1998 leaving a boxing gym and a legacy. The gym was taken over by Bobby's son in law, Brandon Fuga and is a great place to train, keeping fit and meeting some great people.
