Pro boxing show cancelled as injuries hit Team Shoe-Box camp
The professional boxing show planned for The Park Inn hotel in Northampton town centre next month has been cancelled.
Five fighters from the Harlestone Road-based Team Shoe-Box gym were scheduled to take part in the show at The Park Inn by Raddison on Silver Street, but the camp has been beset with injury and illness issues.
With no guarantees the fighters will have recovered in time to fight on Sunday, April 4, it has been decided to call the event off altogether.
Shoe-Box head trainer James Conway is obviously disappointed at the turn of events, and is planning to reschedule the event for a later date.
But with Shoe-Box's highly-rated Eithan James back in action on April 16, and with another fight pencilled in for him towards the of May, it could be June before the promoters will be able to get a Northampton show together.
The show on April 3 was due to feature Dempsey Madden, Ryan Conway, Michael Stephenson, Sam Daly and Dominic Felix.
