With the inking of the contracts yesterday at the Abdool and Abdool building, professional boxing will return to Berbice as Mark Thom Promotions will stage a three-bout fight card dubbed the ‘Rose Hall Town Showdown’ on December 13th.
Promoter Thom during an invited comment said:“I expect the card to be a really productive thing for Berbice as far as sport goes in the whole. “They have never had a national championship fight in Berbice as far as I can recall. People should come out and support it so we can have more.
“I expect people to come out because it is the first of its kind which could be the beginning of something great,” he added.
The event, which will be held at the Area-H ground in Rose Hall, will be headlined by the Richard Williamson and Delon Allicock 12-round showdown for the vacant national super bantamweight title.
In earlier two six-round affairs, Guyana’s super-middleweight champion Deryck Richmond will face off with Romeo Norville while Rose Hall Town’s Keshawn Simon will oppose veteran pugilist Mark Murray.
Sponsors of the event include Castle Hotel and Maximum Sports, Combat and Strength. The entrance fee for the ringside viewership is $2,000 while $1,000 will be charged for the regular seating.
