Fight card goes Saturday night at Pearkes Arena
Jason Heit is a multi-tasker when it comes to the fight game. This week had him preparing Terris Smith of Langford and seeing her off to the qualifying boxing tournament in Bangkok for the Paris Olympic Games, while also acting as promoter for tonight’s pro card at Pearkes Arena.
“The goal of our series is to go as big as we can with the cards, but to also have a good fit as to what the market can support,” said Heit. “Bisla has fought in MSG, the Mecca of boxing, and that was a great test for him on the road to this Canadian title bid in Victoria,” said Heit, .Bisla is returning to B.C. after a three-week training camp in Miami under David Benavidez, the former WBC super-middleweight champion, who is preparing to fight Oleksandr Gvozdyk of Ukraine for the WBC light-heavyweight championship June 15 in Las Vegas.
