It will be youth versus experience tonight at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall when undefeated CABOFE welterweight champion Simeon ‘Candy Man’ Hardy matches gloves with former European middleweight champion Howard ‘Battersea Bomber’ Eastman.

Eastman’s and Hardy’s 10-round junior middleweight bout will headline the 23rd edition of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) Fight Night Pro Am card.

Last night at the Water Chris Hotel both fighters weighed in at 156 pounds.
