[Written by Stephen Wright<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Bermuda boxer Nikki Bascome has hailed the success of the open sparring session at the Fresh & Hungry Boxing Club in Warwick in response to rising gun violence and anti-social behaviour on the island.<\/p>\n

The event, held on Saturday [September 27], featured several exhibition bouts and welcomed participants of all experience levels.<\/p>\n

Fighters from across the island took part, including representatives from Controversy Gym, Aries Sports Centre, and the Bermuda Sanshou Association.<\/p>\n

Bascome, who has long credited boxing with steering him away from trouble in his youth, said the initiative was aimed at offering a positive outlet for young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great event \u2013 the matchmaking was on point,\u201d Bascome, who has won 13 of his 15 professional bouts, told Bernews.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had some great bouts and everyone gave it their all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old expressed gratitude to all involved, adding: \u201cI\u2019d like to thank all the fighters, coaches, volunteers, and sponsors \u2013 especially my team \u2013 for helping to put this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The positive feedback, he added, has already sparked calls for future events.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany participants said they can\u2019t wait for the next one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will help the community in positive ways, especially those youngsters who need a constructive outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also a great opportunity for aspiring boxers to improve their skills and take their craft to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was supported by a host of local sponsors, including Xtreme Sports, Arnold\u2019s Supermarket, Elite Fitness, Annual Auto Care, Pitt & Company, and Bermuda General Agency.<\/p>\n
