Dear Mr. Sulaiman and
Board of Governors, It has come to our attention that
there is a proposed fight being made between WBC
Welterweight champion Andre Berto and Steve Forbes. It
has been our position for some time now, that we are
ready, willing, and able to fight Berto for the WBC
Welterweight title. If we have to fight an elimination
bout or bouts to be afforded the opportunity, than so be
it.
A big fish is coming to this small
boxing pond. The first step on former WBA light
middleweight champion Travis Simms' road to redemption will be
taken in Columbia on Aug. 9 as the headliner of a card at the
Radisson on Bush River Road. It's a big step up in competition
and venue for the local boxing scene, which arguably has not
played host to a boxer of Simms' caliber since the late 1980s.
Palmetto Boxing’s Timothy Hunter Jr. added another belt to his collection by out classing the competition in one of the Southeast’s largest amateur boxing tournaments.
