Len Walters won the Canadian open bantam weight championship in 1949 and 1952. He amassed an amateur record of 139-10 and a pro record of 14-4 in a 13-year boxing career. Walters won four B.C. senior and two national titles, while also capturing the U.S. featherweight title in 1951, only the third Canadian to do so.
