I would like to send out
a special thanks to all the people that help make Fight
Night at the Radisson a success. I am truly humbled by
the outpouring of support I continue to receive even
after the event. I am so blessed to have all of you as
part of our boxing family. Production of these events
can be quite stressful at times. Your gracious attitudes
during these stressful periods help me to maintain my
sanity. I only wish people on the outside could see what
goes on behind ... Letter

Former 2 Times WBA Super
Welterweight World Champion “Tremendous” Travis Simms
will co-headline a spectacular boxing card at the
Radisson Hotel in Columbia SC. Simms will be making his
second appearance since losing his first fight via a
controversial decision against unbeaten Joachime Alcine
live on Showtime Boxing. It's a big step up for the
local promotional company, Palmetto boxing, and the
local boxing scene, which arguably has not played host
to a boxing event of this magnitude ever .
