THE LAST CHALLENGE
Our next event for the Casino Rooms in Rochester is now finalized for May 11th and I am very pleased with the bill we have to offer.
The LAST CHALLENGE applies to George Pattison who finally hangs up the gloves with his last fight at the show. Not wishing to go out on an easy one he will meet Mike ‘Mad Dog’ Morello from California. I look forward to hosting Mike and his family at the event. George has been a regular at my events for nearly 12 years now and has always been a quiet guy who lets his fighting do his talking for him, but it is my opinion that his achievements over the years, the fighters he has beaten and he has never dodged anyone offered to him, make him one of the very best full contact fighters of the past decade.
Chief support on the night is given to the Casino Rooms debut of Qasim ‘The Dream’ Nisar, widely considered to be the top professional prospect in the country and maybe the world. Qasim meets Andre Marcelino from Portugal and if anyone in the south has still not seen Qasim then you should come along to the show. The sort of hype attached to Qasim is still rare in our sport, but I don’t mind saying I believe he matches up to it and so I am very pleased to be welcoming him and trainer Neil Kelly to the Casino for the first time.
Other highlights will be Lee Whitfield v Andrew Tate in a professional fight, a international amateur fight between Rob Burbridge (TKO) and Andrew Morello (USA), an IKF Amateur Southern Area title fight plus England v Ireland.
