BWB Boxing Promotions in association with the Club Colosseum proudly present the first anniversary of the BWB Fight Network and the fourth BWB boxing tournament. This must see event will be held on Wednesday 27th May at the Club Colosseum, 1 Nine Elms Lane, Vauxhall, SW8. Doors at 18:00, event begins at 19:00.

16 men will do battle over three and four two minute rounds. The highlight of this exciting spectacle of pugilism will see a return of the unbeaten BWB Welterweight Champion, Luke 'The Cheam Dream' Williams, as he defends his title against the former BWB Middleweight champion, Stuart 'The Isle of Wight Warrior' McDonald.

Special guests will include the Isle of Wight Assassin Jay Morris; former British Flyweight Champion and world title challenger, Mickey Cantwell; the former British and European Light-Welterweight Champion, Clinton McKenzie; and the former world Welterweight Champion, the Ragamuffin Man himself, Lloyd Honeyghan.

Online ticket sales from April from Ticketweb or contact bwbboxing@sky.com- £15.00 ringside or £10.00 general admission.

All proceeds go toward the chosen BWB charity, the Shooting Star Children's Hospice in Hampton. The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice is a very special place – a home from home for families who find themselves in truly unimaginable circumstances. The hospice provides essential care and support for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families, free of charge, 365 days a year.

Their care services support children and their families in the western half of Greater London and surrounding areas through short breaks, care at home, support for siblings, emergency care and end of life care. It costs £3 million every year to maintain their services at Shooting Star House and in the community, and as they receive no long-term statutory funding, the majority of this comes from voluntary donations.

The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice offers the following services to the children and their families:

* Respite breaks
* Care in the child’s own home
* Post diagnosis support and counseling
* End of Life care
* Bereavement counseling and support
* Advocacy to facilitate access to other services
* Support for the whole family

Get your tickets early, it is expected that this event will sell out in record time.

Just to put my two pence in, Myself and the good lady went to the last one and it was fantastic to say the least.

The fights were well managed by the refs, they were well fought by the fighters and the team that organised the event and ran it did themselves and the brigade (I know it was endorsed) proud.

What are the chances of getting the brigade to sponsor it or at least make a donation to the charity.

Well both be coming (baby sitter willing) again
