Annual Police fight night cancelled
Police Boxing Show.
The popular fight night, traditionally held at the Southampton Princess Hotel in December, has for years matched Police officers in different divisions against each other at a black tie gala evening.
However, with Prospect gymnasium no longer available, the Police boxers have been unable to find an alternative training site.
But four fighters -- Tony Mouchette, Billy Tempest Mitchell, Jeff Baron and Daniel Reece -- will represent the Force on an international card in Boston on October 27.
The card will feature fighters from the Massachusetts State Troopers, the Denver and New York Police Departments and a team from Denmark.
The four local boxers have been sparring and training in an exercise room at Police Recreation Club and in their own homes.
