Promoter Seon Bristol of Briso Promotions is in the process of getting Leon ‘Hurry Up’ Moore and Elton ‘Coolie Bully’ Dharry to finalise the arrangements for their imminent clash in the boxing ring.
Moore had earlier indicated that he is ready and willing to accept any challenge that USA based Dharry offers and is promising to school him in the elementary aspects of boxing. Responding to a recent challenge issued by the Dharry camp, the 32-year-old super bantamweight Moore promised to “overload” Dharry’s circuit if he should have the gall to step into the ring.
“I have heard that Elton has issued a challenge to me. When I meet him in the ring he will see how out of place his challenge is. Dharry is nowhere near Leon Moore and I’ll prove that by knocking him out in five rounds. I’ll give him a round for each letter of his first name,” Moore had said.
Bristol told Kaieteur Sport that this fight would be a crowd pleasing one and he will leave no stone unturned to make it a reality as a promoter.
He said fans are looking forward for this bout. He noted the obvious talent of the two boxers and what they will bring to the ring and predicted and entertaining and explosive meeting judging from their performances.
Asked when he is hopeful of having the bout staged, Bristol indicated that he has put forward a request to the Guyana Boxing Board of Control for March 30 or around the Easter period. Questioned on a possible venue, the Promoter noted that he is looking at either the National Park or the National Stadium with the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall the other in the event of adverse weather. He also stated that the admission will be very reasonable to ensure a large cross section of the fans can come out.
Bristol is in the process of getting the fighters together to agree at a suitable contract. Both men had expressed their willingness to fight however both had indicated that the other should come to their weight limit.
Moore fights at 122lbs while Dharry campaigns at 118lbs. Bristol noted that he will seek to have them agree for a catchweight encounter, which will see them coming to a middle ground position of 120lbs in a non-title contest.
He hopes that both fighters would be reasonable in the negations and arrive at a suitable agreement and give fight fans what they are looking for since they have both called out each other.
The Promoter responding to questions on other quality fighters appearing on the programme mentioned the talented Clive Atwell, Edmond DeClou and Simeon Hardy as some of the addition crowd pleasers he would be seeking to add further excitement to the card.
Is this oil a blessing or a curse?
