Agency Wars, the industry’s annual amateur boxing event benefiting NABS and Ronald McDonald House, has announced its 2013 fight lineup.
After weeks of orientation, promotion and testing the fitness of its applicants, Agency Wars has named its 28 fighters (see below) and broken them up into red and blue teams.
Most of the selected fighters were notified last week via email that they had made the cut. A handful, however, were given a surprise visit by the event’s organizers who, with Fight Network cameras in tow, gave them the good news in person.
Now, under the watchful eyes of professional coaches and fitness trainers, the “lucky” competitors begin a grueling training regimen in the lead-up to the Nov. 27 event in Toronto.
