The ‘Not In My House’ card set for September 28 at D’Urban Park is now official.
Boxers for the six-fight Pro/Am event inked their respective contracts yesterday which effectively seals the deal and virtually puts an end to weeks of speculation and verbal sparring.
Yesterday’s signings took place at the headquarters of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) on Avenue of the Republic.
The ‘Not In My House’ professional segment will see the flashy Dexter ‘De Kid’ Marques making his highly-anticipated ring return in the feature bout of the evening.
The showman flyweight, who has not fought since last January, will look to shake off some ring rust since his promotional team is already lining up a Commonwealth title fight with their sights set on a World Title crack sometime next year. Marques (17-2-0) will match gloves with Colombian, Jose Antonio Jimenez, in a 10-round affair.
The co-feature will involve James Moore and James Walcott in a six-round, light-heavyweight encounter.
Another six-round fight will see Edmond ‘Wonder Boy’ DeClou matching gloves with Kwesi Jones in a catchweight encounter while Joel Williamson will be taking on Keeve Allicock in a four-round super lightweight scrap.
Organizers of the open air event have also pitted welterweight, Anson Green, against the USA’s Raymond Wilburg (four rounds) while debutant, Pearline Lochan and Sharon Warde (four rounds) will battle each other. The boxers on the amateur segment are yet to be finalized.
Admission for the event which will include a concert with surprise artists, is set at $2000. Bell time is 19:00hrs.
Stabroek Sport will keep readers updated as events unfold for the fixture which is a collaborative effort involving the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC), Caribbean Knockouts, HJ Entertainment and NexGen Global Marketing.
