THE SECOND staging of the Wray and Nephew Fight Nights series is set to take place this Saturday at Cling, Cling Avenue in Olympic Gardens, with Jamaica welterweight champion Juezier ‘Iron Man’ Heron facing off against Robert Martinez of the Dominican Republic in the feature event.
The other professional fight of the night will see former Contender champion Donovan ‘Police’ Campbell taking on fan favourite Kevin ‘Bus Boy’ Hilton in the first ever meeting between the two local heavy hitters.
Twelve amateur fights are also scheduled for the night.
Meanwhile, Heron insists that based on preparations, he has a knockout “manufactured” for his Dominican Republic opponent.
“He is fast. And according to his record as well. He is powerful. That should make it a lot more fun.
“Preparation has been going surprisingly well. Training is getting easier. I can’t complain. So look out for a beating manufactured on the 27th. It will be the third or fourth round for Martinez,” he said.
Meanwhile, both Hilton and Campbell are looking forward to their first-ever matchup with great anticipation.
“I am looking forward to me and Donovan Campbell. It’s going to be an electrical fight. It is something everybody has been waiting for, for me and Donovan Campbell to fight, and the time has come,” Hilton stated.
Campbell noted that he was the one who requested the matchup and is telling his fans to expect victory.
“We are in the same weight class. We both entered Contender, but for some reason, we never got to fight.
“I requested to fight Bus Boy because it’s been a long while. But it has manifested now, and I just have to carry out my request and get a win,” he said.
President of the Jamaica Boxing Association (JBA) Stephen ‘Bomber’ Jones said he expects the series to continue from where it left off in Portmore in June. The Olympic Gardens community and general boxing fans, he said, should expect a night of excitement and fun.
“I am very confident. We have been here every day. And we have been getting the feedback from the area.
“But boxing brings out everybody. Jamaica has a love affair with boxing. Men, women and children. Also, boxers want to be ambassadors for their communities. That is what pushes us and why we go deep into the hearts of the communities,” he said.
Wray and Nephew brand manager Kerry Ann Bryan said the series is achieving the objective they envisioned.
“When we launched the series, it was to reignite the love for boxing in Jamaica by creating a platform where talent, passion, and resilience shine through, and today, we see our vision come to life, where Fight Nights is now more than a sporting event. It’s about community, opportunity, and celebrating the fighting spirit,” she commented.
