THE
dust has barely settled on 2006 as the ProKick team are hard
at work polishing off plans for a ‘ProKick Road Show’
as the club takes its events across the country. The first
show of 2007 kicks off at the Park Ave Hotel on Saturday the
27th of this month, which combines a fight card made up of
world champions to the pure novice beginner.
The Park Ave Next Generation event is the first of a number
of shows that will take place around the countryside helping
to popularise the sport further in Northern Ireland. “We
had a great 2006 and it was topped of nicely when Mark Hennessy
lifted the European title in Turin Italy - in what was the
final event of last year." Promoter Murray added. “Last
year we stated a new boot camp of budding kickboxing wantabees
champions who all enlisted in a demanding three-year programme.
In all, 40 fighters signed up to contest for domestic honours
and hopefully become world champions in a unique concept called
‘I’m a champion – Get Me In The Ring’.
In 2006 we lifted eleven titles ranging from Irish to World
champion and this year we plan to do the same if not better
until 2008. The chosen group embarked on a mission of fighting
once a month in 2006, ending the year with shots at domestic
titles and National crowns.
And this year they will challenge for British and European
titles and in 2008, world dominance is the aim.”
In February this year at a hotel yet to be named we will remember
the people who made 2006 one of the best years in the history
of the sport. It was a defining year. The Bash ‘n’
Mash will also give some new and inexperienced fighters an
opportunity to mark their cards for 2007.
Tickets for the Park Ave event are available now; you can
book by just returning an email. Or for further details, contact
