Brian Whelan (born 1939), is a male former boxer who competed for England. He is not to be confused with the professional fighter Brian Whelan from Luton.
He represented England and won a bronze medal in the 60 kg lightweight at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Western Australia.[1][2]
He was a member of the Chiswick General Amateur Boxing Club and was 1962 ABA champion after famously beating the great amateur Dick McTaggart.[3] He was only one of two fighters who won for England in the 8–2 defeat by Russia in the 1962 international meeting.
He was a milkman by trade.
