Super Sunday bouts
BOXING: Toowoomba boxing is experiencing a boom period and that trend is set to continue with a new series kicking off in the city next month.
To help cater for the sport’s growth promoter Brendon Smith is launching TGW & Smithy Brings Super Sunday 1.
The unique concept is centred around rising professional stars, up-and-coming amateurs and corporate fighters.
The first day-time show will take place on September 17 at Smithy’s TGW Gym.
The format will compromise professional bouts, amateur bouts and a new Viking and Barbarian Cup corporate series.
“This series is about providing opportunities for up and comers,” Smith said.
The first Barbarian Viking Cup will be held on the card.
It’s a five-person teams’ event for corporate fighters, between Team Barbarian and Team Viking.
Team Barbarian is headed by Corban “The Barbarian” Kanoveilomani and Team Viking headed by Steven “The Viking” Spark.
Five corporate fighters will be a part of each team.
They will receive six weeks training by their respective coaches and will fight on the TGW & Smithy Brings Super Sunday 1.
The team that wins the most fights will be awarded the inaugural Barbarian Viking Cup.
“This is a great concept and a just reward and opportunity for all our leading businesses to nominate a fighter to represent your business,” Smith said.
“We are calling for nominations now so if you’re interested inquire at the gym.”
