There will be thirteen bouts on the Card, six of which will involve boxers from Trinidad & Tobago.
This Card is part of the preparation process for Barbados Junior boxers whom are preparing for the Continental Youth Boxing Championships, the World Youth Boxing Championships, and the 2014 Youth Olympics.
Meanwhile, from March 15-17 (next weekend), a team of female boxers from the Flying Fish Island will travel to Trinidad to participate in the Southern Games which will be concentrating on Women in Sport.
