BOXING
THE “Thrilla” in Chinchilla.
Three boxers from Warwick travelled to Chinchilla for bouts last Saturday. Only two however fought, as three boxing trainers who had boxers in the same weight division as junior Warwick boxer Paul Parry refused to fight the talented Warwick youngster.
The two remaining boxers, Josh “Bronco” Smith, 24, and Jesse “James” Parry, 23, both won their boxing debut bouts in convincing fashion.
“Bronco” Smith ‘who is a horse breaker’ stopped his more experienced opponent in the first round with a display of ferocious power punching which caused the referee to stop the bout.
Next to make his debut in the boxing ring was Jesse Parry who won a hard-fought but decisive victory over a tough game opponent.
Ex-professional boxing champion and veteran fight-trainer Roy Parry said he was extremely proud of his proteges. Roy’s Boxing Academy is located at 28 King Street, Warwick.
