BOXING BRILLIANCE
The Irish team.
RESIDENTS of La Marina were treated to a spectac ular and very professional ly organised night’s enter tainment with 12 amateur boxers and their handlers travelling from all over Ire land to take on local talent. The evening was held in Balearia’s Multiespai L’An drona overlooking the Port of Denia on Friday, Decem ber 9, with 12 boxers that had travelled from all over Ireland making the trip. To kick the evening off Brennan displayed some of the local young talent with two very capable eight yearolds being put through their paces with their trainer. That was followed by a presentation of two cheques each valued at €7,500, the proceeds of the evening, being handed over by Aart Jan Dross to Extiende Tumano and APAD. The two excellent charities are involved in helping the needy and in
caring for dogs respective ly. A fourcourse meal was then served to the 100 or so guests who had booked for dinner, whilst the re maining 150 or so specta tors were able to buy drinks, snacks and sand wiches. Whilst dinner was being served the fun began with the boxers pitting their skills in what turned out to be very evenly matched bouts. The spoils were shared between the local and Irish boxers, with the highlight of the evening be ing the win by Aymara Co margo in her first ever bout. Aymara’s brother, a promising professional, was killed not long ago when he was knocked off his bicycle. That death led his father Marcelo and Paddy Brennan to set up the boxing club in Denia. A fantastic evening that was very professionally put
together and which it is un derstood will feature in a Channel 4 documentary. Congratulations has to go to the boxers, handlers and referees first and fore most. But we all look forward to the team of Aart Jan Dross (owner Basta and Fuego), Mladen Garcevic (Oasis gym), Marcello Car margo (Trainer) and Paddy
Brennan MBE (Paddy Bren nan Promotions) bringing us more spectacular enter tainment.
