The Wally Bates Boxing Club was first established in 1988 to teach the art of boxing. The club was named after a champion boxer that originated from the Swan Hills area by the name of Walter Arthur Bates. He won Welter weight championships both at state & national level. The Wally Bates Boxing Club still operates till this very day. We welcome ANYONE who is keen to come down to our training sessions during the week whether it be for fun, fitness or to learn how to compete at a professional level!
