President Nathan Dill encouraged the community to support the event and its athletes, saying: “We encourage the entire community to come out to support this event.

“Even if you are not a pure fight fan, we hope that the prospect of seeing our top local athletes as the underdogs competing against such high caliber overseas competitors would ignite a sense of national pride.

“Our island community at this time, needs an event such as this to bring people together as Bermudians. We are particularly grateful for the strong support from WOW and Gorhams, our title sponsors, and also from Security Associates, Red Laser and Bermuda Pest Control.

“I’d like to publicly acknowledge the role of those companies and those socially conscious individuals who have allied with the federation to support our initiatives.

“The Bermuda Boxing Federation and each of our member gyms are investing in our youth and growing our national boxing program. This would not be possible without these corporate partnerships. Again, come out to be entertained, to rally behind such worthy individuals and to support our country, our youth, the boxing gyms and martial arts community.”
