The resuscitation of the Rosehall Jammers Boxing Gym coupled with the influx of pugilists in the amateur and professional arena has resulted in the rise of several worthwhile pugilists emanating from the Ancient County.
This new development has been inspiring and will witness a positive spinoff when boxing Manager, Mark Thom, is set to stage a boxing slugfest dubbed ‘Rosehall Town Showdown’ at the Rosehall Community Centre Ground Saturday December 13.
The card will consist of three professional bouts and several amateur contests and Mr. Thom said that he anticipates a night of keen fistic action. The main attraction will be the 12 rounds fight between Berbician, Richard Williamson and his Georgetown counterpart, Dillon Allicock for the vacant local Super/Bantamweight title while another Berbician, Kishawn Simon, tackles journeyman, Mark Murray, in a 6 rounds Jnr/Welterweight affair.
Another Berbician, local Middleweight champion, Dereck Richmond, will step up one division to square off with Romeo Norville over 6 rounds in a Super/Middleweight affair. The promoters have also included several amateur bouts on the card but while they have hinted at several action packed bouts, they have not yet released the names of those pugilists.
Eon Jardine is the matchmaker and he intimated that the boxers would be engaged in the contract signing rituals next Tuesday at 13:00hrs.
