Carla Vaetoe and Gayne Huirama from Tauranga's G2 bar and events centre have teamed up with Jewel Tipene to organise another exciting boxing event for charity, to be held early next month.
The boxing event will present a total of 15 bouts of 3 x 2 minute rounds of amateur fights featuring men and women from Tauranga taking on Hamilton's finest. The organisers have named it the Battle of the Kaimai Ranges.
The first G2 Charity Boxing event was held in September 2013 at the G2 Bar & Events Centre on Maleme St. It was an opportunity to present the then newly refurbished venue to Tauranga, and the sold out event involved participants from all parts of the community.
"We are now proud to host our second Charity Box Event in Tauranga Moana, supporting three local charities that have a big focus on youth," Jewel says.
She says Merivale Community Centre's youth programme support, Kids Love Kai and Wish 4 Fish will benefit from the charity event.
