KeepWeak delete Writing style doesn't matter but I think he does meet
WP:NBOX with respect to his national amateur championship. New Zealand just squeaks in as a viable country but it is on the list.

New Zealand clocks in with a single bronze medal at the
World Amateur Boxing Championships. I don't think amateur champions from
Ghana,
Costa Rica and
Pakistan should also be considered notable. It is true that
WP:NBOX should technically let it slide, but the guideline are way too loose and we shouldn't give a fringe article like this leeway.

Delete I think JTtheOG is right, both about the boxing guidelines and that even under those generous guidelines, NZ barely qualifies. At this time I don't see that Blackbourn meets
WP:GNG or is a notable boxer. This seems similar to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julio César Ávalos, where barely meeting the boxing guidelines was deemed insufficient to show notability.
