Fightdens ‘Ring Wars 10’ was meant to be at the end of March and now has been rescheduled until hopefully May.

Dexter’s Thoughts



This is more bad news for local boxing promoters and the fans. The sooner they get this virus under control the better, hopefully all these shows can be rescheduled so the fighters can do what they have trained hard for. The Birmingham Boxing Column look forward to getting back to normal and writing about these great shows.
