Ladies do their bit too

It’s not often the people working on a building site have passers-by craning to catch a look at them but that’s exactly what happened when a trio of beauties dug in to get Belfast’s Holiday Inn ready for an upcoming all-girl kickboxing event.
The three ‘workers’ brought a touch of glamour to the site of the new ‘Olympic’ function room as they donned hard-hats and showed their prowess with a cement mixer and a tool-belt.
“It was the last thing I was expecting to see,” said one delighted hotel guest. “Usually, when you pass a site you’re trying to avoid catching a glimpse of a builder’s backside. This was a great break from the norm.”
The three were helping making sure the development remains on schedule for its first major show. The Ladykillers fight night on October 30 will see a dozen top class all-woman bouts. The trio, all members of the ProKick Gym in east Belfast, will appear at the event.
“The Ladykillers is going to be the first show of its kind in Europe and we’re all very excited,” said promoter Billy Murray. “High class, championship action with fighters gathered from across Ireland, the UK and Europe. We’re expecting a full house and I’m glad to see that some of the ProKick girls have come down to help move the building work along. The room is well on schedule and will be ready for a brilliant night.”
