Other Boxers in The Family There have been boxers in the family previously, for his father Horima and his uncles, Brownie Nikora and Puku and Henry Wikio, were all notable amateur boxers in their time. Earl's boxing career began at the age of 13,
when he and his two brothers Mick and Charley got really enthusiastic. Mick and Charley later built up ne amateur boxing records in the Waikato district. In 1955 Earl won his first amateur title when he defeated Johnny Nomura by a K.O. in the third round. Two years later in Wellington he was taken in hand by Willie Dowhan, an Austrian professional who taught him many of the finer points of the game.
