Inga Tuigamala's Fight Night

Great turnout at Kelston Boy's High School. Inga Tuigamala put on his first ever boxing tournament in an all amateur event last Saturday. A crowd of over 800 and something of a record as Inga was the promoter, and his two sons and one daughter all fought on the programme. Twelve exciting bouts and the crowd went home very happy with the prospect of many more shows to come. Great effort for a first time promotion.
