Boxing does not have a long history at the Basin Reserve, but the events held here have been notable. At Easter 1943, the ground saw a full programme of fights take place between the army and American marines. Later, in 1954, a New Zealander would claim the British Empire title under lights at the Basin Reserve. The bout pitted South Africa’s Gerald Reyer, an Olympic gold medallist, against New Zealand’s Barry Brown. Brown dominated the fight before it was stopped in the seventh round.
