Kamloops fighter Ken Huber was victorious over Revelstoke Boxing Club fighter Jason Stewardson and retained the B.C. Amateur Cruiser Weight title at a sold-out April 6 fight in Revelstoke.
Gentleman boxer Huber couldn’t hide his awe of Stewardson’s skill as a fighter and the events put on by the Revelstoke Boxing Club.
“Props to Revelstoke,” said Huber after his victory. “That guy’s a tough man, that was a tough fight, way tougher than I thought.”
Huber is a member of the Kamloops Boxing Club and hometown boy Stewardson is a coach for the Revelstoke Boxing Club.
By winning this event, Huber retains his title and will move on to WBC Canadian Championships and will compete against Ontario Boxing Association’s yet-to-be-determined cruiserweight champion on July 19 in Langley, B.C..
He had just finished claiming his title at the WBC Amateur Boxing Association Western Canadian Championships in Langley, B.C. where he was victorious over Aman Aujla.
Huber was ecstatic about keeping his title and belt.
“This is a huge achievement man, it feels awesome,” he said.
Both fighters were competing without headgear. Announcer Dennis Berarducci was keen to point out that fact beforehand, whipping up the crowd.
The Revelstoke Boxing Club was eager to show off their new digs at the Mount Begbie School which was a triumphant success – a big crowd paid to see the show.
In a wall-to-wall spectator showing, the zeal and participation was evident.
The Stewardson versus Huber main event was preceded by 11 boxing events ranging from paperweight fighters to heavyweight – including one event involving female fighters.
