Three weeks from now, more than 50 boxers from three different islands will step into the ring, all competing for top honors in the 18th L Garth Wright Golden Glove tournament.
The one night only event will be held Saturday, October 15 at the Wulff Road Boxing Square. This show will bring together boxers from the Inagua Amateur Boxing Club, Genesis Boxing Club, YMCA Boxing Club, Turks and Caicos Boxing Clubs and the host Champion Amateur Boxing Club. The event last year was held over a four- week course with more than 60 fights recorded.
Organizer Ray Minus expects the one night event to be very good with intense bouts in all the age division. He said: "This is an event that all the fighters look forward to. This time we are going to have one night of boxing, so the boxers will need to bring their best. We expect to have some good fights.
"Boxers will be coming in from Turks and Caicos, Inagua and Freeport. So we will be looking for a dynamic night. We are trying to do something special. We are having a punch-out championship. We have a champion already, Gilbert Cooper. He will be defending his title against a gentleman who goes by the name 'The Raging Bull' Carrol."
Some 20 bouts will be held at the tournament, which will be divided into two sessions, a morning and evening. Minus said the chances of boxers fighting in more than one bout is very great. He noted that the boxers are all prepared for a long day, and have been training very hard.
