The Sandhills Boxing Club out of Leader is hosting the event here in Swift Current.<\/p>\n
“There’s\u00a0going to be a competition for every weight category from 10 years old up to elite athe nd master category, which are 40 years plus,” said Isabelle Blohm, assistant coach and treasuer of the Sandhills Boxing Club. “They will be the top boxers.”<\/p>\n

“We\u00a0have three coming from our club,” Blohm said. “Our two daughters actually compete in there too and it should be really good. One of our daughters just got selected by Team Canada to go to the Youth Olympic Games qualifier in Thailand in March.\u00a0It should be\u00a0a pretty good\u00a0match here. And then we also have Jaden Toye that’s\u00a0coming back to Swift Current<\/a>.\u00a0When the Swift Current Victory Boxing Club was open, he was under them, and he now boxes out of Saskatoon, but\u00a0he’s\u00a0really excited\u00a0to come back home.”<\/p>\n The action starts Saturday at 6:00 pm from the Living Sky Casino and resumes Sunday at 12:00 pm.<\/p>\n Tickets are $35 for the weekend or $20 each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boxers from across Saskatchewan will fight for a spot at nationals as they compete in the provincial championships…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-444315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
