This battle of provincial rivals willing to put their unblemished records on the line is already creating a lot of buzz.
The undercard is stacked with a plethora of local talent as Calgary’s own “Rocky Balboa”… Roxie ‘The Ram’ Lam (6-1-0, 4 KOs)  is set to return to action in a bout vs. an opponent to be named shortly.

Rounding out the card is a tentative barn-burner between local brawlers Mike Smallwood and Aaron Gallant in a bout that is sure to have it’s share of fireworks.
The exciting show marks Teofista Boxing’s 2016 debut in what is shaping up to be a banner year for Western Canadian promotional outfit.
