Confirming the bumper bill, Promoter Paul Graham looks forward to the event “12 fights in one night is what were aiming for. We had a similar one last year called the ‘Steelmen’, and the feedback we had was excellent, so I wanted to do the same again for my first show of the year. We have a few guys making there debut mixed in with established fighters and a few guys who have been on the road in recent fights and all at different weights.In this current climate it is hard to compete with other events going on but we feel that with what Prospect is offering we can mix it with the rest, and give them something a bit different with local fighters.
He adds “Grassroots boxing at this level relies on the fighters getting out regular and building a reputation and a following in their respective communities, so shows like this with the volume of fights we have really make it worthwhile for the fighters and the fans alike, and without them it would be hard to keep putting the shows. We also have done well to have the loyalty of our Sponsors C and C Motcare, ACS and Ringside Boxing Equipment.
