Top class action anticipated as ‘The Bully’/Pearl Vodka stages 50 sizzling rounds of boxing
Shawn Cox
Elton Dharry
Less than three months after promoting his inaugural professional boxing card, World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBCCABOFE) bantamweight champion, Elton ‘The Bully’ Dharry will once again team up with Pearl’s Vodka to stage another such event, fittingly dubbed, ‘Night of Champions 2,’ at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), Sunday February 24 next.
The card will feature some of this country’s best pugilists up against their international counterparts and Dharry said that the boxers have been specially chosen to provide top class entertainment.
Dharry will put his title on the line against Jamaican, Rudolph ‘Cutting Edge’ Hedge in the feature attraction, while Kwesi ‘Lightening Struck Assassin’ Jones will eventually get an opportunity to prove his worth against WBCCABOFE heavyweight champion, Shawn ‘The Sniper’ Cox. The two will battle in a 10 rounds non-title catchweight affair in the main supporting bout, while Dexter Marques returns to the ring for a highly anticipated 8 rounds flyweight contest against Mexican Jose Riveria.
Another Jamaican, Dean ‘Bad Newz’ Burrell, currently residing in England, will test the skills of Rudolph Fraser in a 6 rounds lightweight contest shortly after Mahmood ‘The Extractor’ Loul, a Syrian dentist currently residing in the USA, but on attachment at the Cheddi Jagan Dental School, enters the ring against Patrick Boston over 4 rounds in the super/middleweight division. WBCCABOFE lightweight champion, Clive Atwell, is also expected to be in action against Trinidadian Kevon Diaz

over 8 rounds, but negotiations are still ongoing.

The organizers said that these negotiations should be completed over the coming week. The night’s opener will witness bantamweight Delon Allicock, just off a knockout victory over Charlton Skeete, opposing Ryan Ali over 4 rounds.
Dharry has since returned to the USA to fine tune preparations for the card, while the local fighters have already opened camp at gyms around the country.
Tickets are currently on sale and could be had at Street Styles Boutique, Texila American University and at the CASH on fight night. The organizers could be reached at telephone # 604-9482 or at venue at event day. VIP tickets are sold at $10,000 each and include drinks, while ringside and stands seats could be had for $4,000 and $2,000 respectively.
