SATURDAY NIGHT BOXING

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, March 28, 2009 - The Grenada Amateur Boxing Association (GABA) has teamed up with a popular nightclub BANANAS to stage a Boxing Card for Saturday April 4, 2009.

"Saturday Night Boxing" as it's being touted, will involve the top boxers from the mainland competing against their challengers from Carriacou at Club Bananas' Car Park.

The boxers from the Sister Isle are determined to settle a score since they lost to the mainland last year in Hillsborough.

The GABA is hoping to identify a core of boxers to prepare for a series of tournaments starting with the inaugural Caribbean Games in Trinidad and Tobago in July.

First bout is expected at 8:00 p.m. and an added attraction will be the Ring Girls. Other sponsors include Pirates Cove Restaurant and Stag.
