BoxRec

Well the time has come to start making my first strides into the pro game as i wean myself out of the Unlicensed on onto pastures new .

On the 1st of September in Nottingham ill be Holding the Future Star Boxing Championships Tournament .

3 Tournaments in 1 show , ala prizefighter style but 4 rounds per fight .

At Heavyweight , Super Middleweight and Welterweight .

Thats 21 fights on one big show as part of the tournaments , plus a couple of undercard fights .

All winners will get a cash prize of £3000 plus a Guaranteed pro contract with me .
Plus will all get a small purse for entry .

Tournaments will be open class , Meaning its open to ex pros , current pros whos license has expired and not been renewed for whatever reason (provided they are not under contract with anyone else still ) , ex amateurs and current unlicensed fighters .

Will be setting up a Facebook page , Twitter , and a website after next weekend but wanted to announce it to the boxrec faithful first .

Further info will be added to this thread/post when more to update

Terms & conditions will apply and applications will be accepted at my own discretion .

I'm interested, is there an age limit ? And will there be more weight divisions soon ? I'm currently around 15st and unfit, I need a target, if my diet is good and my training can get back to how it used to be I can get to light heavy, super middle at a push, I'm seriously interested.

If its as successful as im hoping then will do another one the same with different weights before the end of the year , thinking Cruiserweight , Light Middle and Lightweight but long way to go before that point yet , will see how things end up .

Im considering an age limit as its meant to find future pros , bit pointless if theyre too old to go pro , but not made a decision on it as yet .

Have you taken a BBBOC promoters licence yet Damien?

I have spoken with the area guy (Les Potts), going to see out my bookings ive got on unlicensed circuit (and hold onto any monies made as a pro nest egg) and then take out the license in January , everything is ticking over .

Les is a top bloke.

It's easy to make a small fortune in the pro game.......just start with a large one :)

Good luck to you mate.

That sounds good idea
I wish you all the best in your new venture

Yep good luck mate.

think you have to have a pro licence in the last 3 years consecutive before you can aply for a managers or promoters licence first??
and a bond of £10k!!

Fair play Damian, sounds a good idea

Where will it be held? The forum?

Its only a managers licence you need a licence for 3 years for. Theres a few promoters who have got it stright away.

Right!! thats why i put a ???

i know you have to put a 10k bond tho

is that Mr Pegg?

yeh Steffy its me. I think the 10 k bond sorts the messers out lol.

i thought it was you... yeah spoilt it for us grafters lol i had to rob a bank for my bond

Yeah cheers steffy , already spoke to Les at the board to state intentions etc earlier in the year , from what i understood all was ok but will have to wait 3 years to get managers , considered taking out a seconds license prior to promoting to speed that up a bit but thought if im involved in fighters corners etc it might be a bit of a conflict of interest long term , so just taking out the promotors license in january after all my unlicensed bookings are completed and will get the managers as well when the time comes .

I think its pretty obvious that people wont put the bond down unless their serious about giving it a good crack , either that or theyre on crack .
