Father and Son ‘Move Forward’ Together

 
BRENDON Smith has announced that his next promotion will be on June 27th.

 
Moving forward every fight card will carry a very significant and symbolic name. The upcoming June card at Rumours International will be named ‘TGW & Smithy Bring the Big Fights 10’.

 
“I will hurt for the rest of my life and my life will never be the same after losing Brayd,” said Smith in a press release issued by Smithy’s Promotions.

 
“However I will carry my son’s legacy with me everywhere I go and I will move forward the best I can and from here on our show’s will carry his TGW name. Brayd was an owner of Smithy’s Gym and Smithy’s Promotions,”

 
“He was the face of both brands and he helped build both from the bottom up,”

 
“Brayd was the best role model for boxing and I will uphold his beliefs and principles to make the sport of boxing bigger and better than ever,”

 
The card will once again be a boxing extravaganza with two show’s on the same day for the price of one. The event will kick off with a corporate city vs. country showdown followed by a big professional card in the evening.

“I am very proud to announce this event,” Smith added.

 
“Brayd loved to see people who dreamt of getting in the ring getting that chance. At our last show we had so many corporate bouts and the crowd was very supportive of the concept – so we want to do that again on June 27th,”

 
“Again we want to support all of the country clubs so that’s why we’ve come up with the city vs country concept,”

 
“Then we will raise the bar once again with the professional card,”

 
“Brayd always proudly wanted to showcase Toowoomba and the talent we have in our great city, so together we will continue to bring the big fights,”

 
Not only has Brendon Smith announced he will promote a show on June 27th but he’s also pencilled in October 31th. It presents Toowoomba fight fans with two big night’s of boxing to look forward to.

 
With Brayd’s legacy on his shoulder Brendon also intends to grow the brand, both nationally and internationally.

 
“With my mate Brayd I want to spread the TGW & Smithy’s Promotions brand nationally and globally. We will take it to another level.”

 
Brendon Smith also took the opportunity to send a heart felt thanks to so many people who have sent their well wishes to him and his family during the past month.

 
“To all the boxers under the Smithy’s Promotions banner – thank you – you have been amazing,” Smith said.

 
“I will do my upmost best for you and I will work for you.”

 
“To all of our sponsors and Brayd’s sponsors too, thank you,”

 
“It was very humbling and morale boosting to hear how many of you expressed to me how you felt about moving forward and growing together.”

 
“I also thank you for your friendship, it’s something I cherish greatly.

 
“I hope you all will continue to support us and I hope you all can come to our card on June 27. I promise it will be a great show,”

 
“To Jack Asis, thank you. You have just shown the World what myself and Brayd always believed. We both believed from the first time we met you that you would be a world champion,”

 
“To my son Tanner and James O’Shea, thank you for the lovely tributes of Brayd and to my family, thank you,”

 
“Brayd I love you and I will do you proud mate.”
