SEARSPORT – A strong card of amateur bouts is on tap for the Wyman’s Boxing Club show set for 7 p.m. Saturday, April 15 at Searsport District High School.
Boxers from clubs in Canada, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine will square off in varying weight classes and skill levels.
There will also be an appearance by Skeeter McClure, an amateur legend who won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Muhammad Ali, then-Cassius Clay, was McClure’s teammate and also won a gold medal that year.
Local favorites Travis Wyman, 17, of Stockton Springs and Calvin Elwell, 20, of Brooks, both holders of Vermont Golden Glove titles, will take part in featured bouts. Female boxer Cassie Dinsmore, 17, of Searsport will make her debut.
Admission is $15 and $10 for students and military with the proper identification.
