1on1 Boxing Fitness Fighter Makes Amateur Debut

Online, April 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Phoenix-Mesa, AZ, April 28, 2010 - 1on1 Boxing Fitness, Mesa's premier boxing fitness facility, is pleased to announce the amateur debut of 15 year-old Bruce Darby Saturday, May 1 at Putting on the Gloves for Cinco De Mayo in Prescott.

Darby has been training at 1on1 Boxing Fitness with owner, certified sports conditioning specialist and former professional boxer Christopher Terry two years. In addition to boxing, Darby also plays football, making his physical abilities and stamina outstanding.

"Bruce is 200lbs and extremely agile and athletic for his size," said Terry. "I think he has the makings of a great champion heavyweight boxer"

Darby will be facing 16 year-old Daniel Ordorita from Sparta Boxing in El Centro, Calif. Ordorita is also making his amateur debut.

Terry's goals for the fight are for Darby to do his best and to come away with a win. Event awards include Championship Belts, a Team Trophy and an Outstanding Boxer Award.

"Secretly I would be hoping for a team trophy, but since I'm only taken one member of the 1on1 Boxing Fitness team, that's a little far from reach," said Terry. "However, between Bruce's stamina, strength and power, it's very possible Bruce could win the Outstanding Boxer Award."

Putting on the Gloves for Cinco de Mayo is produced by Jake Magallanez of Jakes PAL Boxing. The event is one of four shows a year in which local boxing gyms bring their fighters together to compete to promote the growth of the sport. Boxing gyms from across Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada and California will be in attendance.

Putting on the Gloves for Cinco de Mayo starts at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 1 at 3001 Main Street, Prescott Valley, Arizona 86314 in the Entertainment District in front of Harkin's Theater.
