Cancun makes boxing history

Cancun will make history on Saturday March 8th when they host ‘The World Heavyweight Boxing Championship’ in the Cancun Bullring. It will be the first time a high profile sporting event of this nature has taken place in Mexico.

Boxing legends Oleg Maskaev from Kazakhstan and Samuel Peter from Nigeria will be topping the bill when they meet in the ring for the main fight. Also enthralling the crowd will be fighting competitors; John Ruiz and Jameel Mccline, Juan Diaz and Nate Campbell and Jose Luis Castillo and Timothy Bradley.

Tickets range in price from US $10 to US $2000 and it is anticipated that it will be a ‘sell out’. Once the show is over visitors can enjoy everything Cancun has to offer.
