The Canadian’ next fight is at Providence on Saturday night and the 32-year-old arrived in Guyana on Monday night full of confidence.
“I just want to go out there and fight to the best of my ability; I don’t want to make any prediction now, but when I go in the ring then [is] the action,” Reittie stated. “I think it is important I keep fighting, not just try to do anything special, but go out there and try to improve my boxing skills and technique,” Reittie declared.
So far Reittie has fought on four occasions since he began his professional career last January.
Reittie’s Manager Carlos Cuedvas, is confident that his fighter will produce a memorable performance when he going into the ring for the first time on Guyanese soil come Saturday.
Meanwhile, Mike Schmidt, as lawyer and agent for Jensen Strauss Boxing Limitee informed that Jensen Strauss Boxing Limitee has aligned itself with Saturday’s second staging of Caribbean Fury 2, promoted by Carwyn Holland’s Holland Promotions and will co-sponsor the Reittie/Murray fight.
