The Jamaica Boxing Association staged its long awaited first fight card for 2024 with four fights and an exhibition bout on Saturday at the Stanley Couch Gym.
This was an all amateur fight card under the banner Gloves Over Guns Futures Programme.
Three of the four fights went to the Jamaica Defence Force, JDF, whose boxers looked well prepared and physically fitter than their opponents.
Arguably the fight of the night was the final elite bout between Delano McLaughlin of the JDF and Kirk-Patrick Heron of the Port Antonio Gym in a light heavy weight match-up.
Both fighters were very determined while going all three rounds of three minutes each.
At the end McLaughlin landed more hits and was adjudged the winner.
President of the Jamaica Boxing Association, Stephen Bomber Jones, was pleased with the response from the boxing community.
Jones says the last Saturday of every month they intend to have the same show but going forward it won’t just be amateurs.
