Boxing fundraiser stops the traffic

Members of the Cayman Amateur Boxing Team put on a “terr-affic” boxing demonstration in front of rush hour cars, raising almost CI$600 which will go to finance the club’s overseas fights.

Boxer Tracey Seymour said: “We are doing demonstrations like we would normally be doing on the shows that we have. This is to help raise money for the boxing team’s trips, and also to raise money for my preparations to go out to China to fight in the Women’s World Championship in May.

“I need more fights in order to prepare myself for this and to get fights I need the funding to go away to fight. I am planning to go fight in Florida and New York – wherever Cayman Airways flies to, because they help us with some of
our expenses.”

While Aaron Powell held up a big yellow sign which read: “Help our boxers – Please Donate, the other boxers got ready for the demonstration in the traffic Island. As the rush-hour traffic began to slow down, more and more people pulled over to give the
 boxers money.
