BiographyBorn in Greymouth on 3 February 1936, Finlay was the son of Jack "Doc" Finlay.[1][2] Trained by his father, Graham Finlay won four New Zealand national amateur boxing championship titles: the light welterweight title in 1954; and the welterweight title in consecutive years from 1955 to 1957.[2] He represented New Zealand in the welterweight division at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, losing to the eventual bronze medallist, Kevin Hogarth from Australia, on points in his first bout.[2] In the light-welterweight division at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Finlay was eliminated in the first round, defeated by G.R. Smith from Southern Rhodesia.[2] Overall, Finlay's amateur record was 98 fights for seven defeats.[3] Finlay was also a useful rugby league second rower, playing for the Greymouth Marist club side that won several West Coast titles, as well as the Thacker Shield in 1959 and 1961.[2] Outside of sport, Finlay operated the Chevron restaurant and milk bar in Greymouth with his brother-in-law, John Morris.[2] In 1985, Finlay relocated to Christchurch, where he worked for the Inland Revenue Department until his retirement. Finlay died on 29 July 2018.[2] References1. ^{{Sports-reference | fi/graham-finlay-1}} {{1956 New Zealand Olympic team}}{{1958 New Zealand British Empire and Commonwealth Games team}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Finlay, Graham}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news | url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/combat-sports/105965002/new-zealand-olympic-games-boxer-graham-finlay-farewelled-after-final-fight| title=New Zealand Olympic Games boxer Graham Finlay farewelled after final fight | date=2 August 2018 | work=Stuff.co.nz | accessdate=3 November 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://westcoast.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/2083 |title=Graham Finlay, Greymouth boxer |website=West Coast New Zealand history |accessdate=3 November 2018}} 10 : 1936 births|2018 deaths|Sportspeople from Greymouth|New Zealand male boxers|Boxers at the 1956 Summer Olympics|Olympic boxers of New Zealand|Boxers at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games|Commonwealth Games competitors for New Zealand|New Zealand rugby league players|Rugby league second-rows |
