Rachel Sousa

The Bermudian mum. A fitness fanatic, picked up boxing after getting bored of the gym.

Sousa, who works at Trecon Ltd and trains out of Police Gym, is making her ring debut on Saturday night.

The 32-year-old may not have fought before but she's in great shape and has a secret weapon in the form of world champion Teresa Perozzi in her corner. She'll take on Lucy Hall of the Met Police in the opening bout of the night.

She's not your typical boxer - weighing in at less that 125lbs - and her friends have given her the not-so-imposing ring name Rachel 'Chicken Wing' Sousa!

Tom Healy

The Renegades rugby star got bitten by the boxing bug after making a winning debut at the Teachers' Fight Night in March.

Healy, originally from Ireland, has been training on and off ever since - particularly in the off-season from rugby - and can't wait to get back in the ring again.

"I enjoyed Fight Night so much that I wanted to try it again. Personally, I love the cardio challenge and the adrenaline of getting in the ring," said the 28-year-old banker.

He trains at Controversy Gym and head coach Chucky Renaud believes he has great potential. He's up against Shaun McGrath of the Met Police.

Jamela Daniels

Also making her ring debut 27-year-old Jamela is determined to 'kick ass' on Saturday night.

She did some kick-boxing at college and has been training at Controversy Gym on and off for over a year.

Two other opportunities to fight fell through when her opponent backed out and Jamela, a former Bermuda Sun advertising girl who now works at DHL, is happy to finally get it on.

"It's something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm excited about it," said the Bermudian

Mark Dunlop

MR Onions footballer Dunlop is another boxer who made his debut at Fight Night and got hooked.

He was one of the more accomplished fighters at Number One Shed in March and showed his promise again at the Rumble on the Beach when he beat Reese Simpson, to give him a 2-0 record in his short amateur career.

The Scot, an auditor at PWC, said he liked the novelty of fighting on the beach and now fighting in a hotel at a sell-out black-tie event.

"I enjoy it, I learn something every time I fight. And it's great training. It's only six minutes but it feels like a lot longer."

Asaph Rawlins

In what used to be an all-police event, Rawlins is the sole representative for the boys in blue.

The 26-year-old, a former Tae Kwon Do expert and a keen squash player, has a 3-1 record.

He picked up his first loss at the London police-boxing club in the U.K. leg of this event.

Rawlins, who says he likes to take his time and jab rather than come out throwing punches, admits he'll feel a few nerves before he gets back in the ring on Saturday.

"It's nerve racking until you start boxing. Then the adrenaline kicks in."

John Tindall

Another footballer, Tindall can expect plenty of vocal support from his MR Onions team-mates on Saturday.

The English accountant has been training at Police Gym to keep fit for quite a while, but this is his first competitive bout.

The 29-year-old is a defender for the Commercial A side and falls into the heavyweight category. But despite his bulk he says he has never been in any kind of fight before,

"I've done a bit of sparring but other than that it's completely new. It would be strange if there weren't any nerves."

Reese Simpson

The 26-year-old construction worker has been a fixture on the Bermuda fight scene this year.

He's been on the card for virtually every fight night and travelled with the Police team to London, though his opponent pulled out of that bout.

Simpson, who also plays a little bit of basketball, has a 1-2 record to show for his efforts. He lost to team-mate Dunlop on his last competitive outing at the Rumble on the Beach.

Bruno Parker

Making his return to the ring after a lengthy absence, Parker is one of the more experienced fighters of the bunch.

The 28-year-old, who has a background in martial arts, picked up a bronze medal at the Caribbean Amateur Boxing Association championships in '05.

"He's back in training after taking a break for about a year," said Chucky Renaud, his coach.

Tony Surhatono

Made his ring debut in London after travelling with the police team at short notice.

He was beaten there and was back in the ring six weeks later to fight on the Perozzi undercard at Clearwater. He lost again there but has shown plenty of promise in training and will be looking for a change in fortune on Saturday.

Robyn Swan

The 25-year-old student has been in the ring twice before, each time against police officer Shameen Iqbal.

The first was an exhibition match the second was a points victory for Swan. This time the Bermudian, who fights out of Police Gym, will take on Kerri Bonomi of the London Met.[[In-content Ad]]
