CALGARY, AB (Feb. 12, 2016) – Professional boxing is set to return to Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a BANG on Friday, Feb. 26 when Teofista Boxing returns to the Deerfoot Inn & Casino where it will present the eighteenth installment of it’s popular LIVE boxing series.
Teofista Boxing Series 18 will be headlined by a C.P.B.C 154-pound title clash between big punching Janks Trotter (9-2-1, 9 KOs) of Alberta taking on road warrior Stuart McLellan (12-2-3, 3 KOs) of British Columbia. High stakes as a top twenty world ranking with the World Boxing Organization will be bestowed upon the winner.
In the red hot co-feature, rising undefeated Calgary based light welterweight prospect Connor Bush (2-0-1, 1 KO) will collide with fellow unbeaten Edmonton charge Mike McWilliams (4-0-2, 2 KOs) in a battle where someone’s “0” must go. 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. Lam is a staple of the Calgary boxing scene and is well known for having the heart of a lion and always fighting in toe-to-toe wars.
Heralded import Alejandro Torres Rynn (2-0) is set to return to action making his 2016 debut. Rynn is a Mexican product now based in Alberta and has a long list of accomplishments as a Canadian amateur and has since been making a lot of noise since turning professional in 2014. He will be taking on Saskatchewan’s Robert Nelson in a super featherweight bout.
Another former Canadian amateur standout slated to see action is rising Alberta middleweight Devin Reti (2-0, 1 KO). A boxer-puncher with a long and accomplished pedigree, Reti will be taking on Kelowna’s Dia Grant.
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. With the acquisition of both Alejandro Torres Rynn and Devin Reti as official members of Team Teofista, the brand looks to solidify itself as one of the premier promoters in western Canada. It’s exciting young stable of fighter will also look to make strides this year as Bush, Rynn and Reti all have tentative bouts lined up in Mexico to advance their records in the coming months.
