Peggy Maerz, head coach of the Bulldogs Boxing Club, leaves Sunday for New York City for a fight at the BB King Bar & Grill in Manhattan. It’s a pretty big event, says Mickey Sims, her trainer and manager
Maerz, a pro-fighter, is going to be fighting Heather Hardy at the Broadway Boxing event. It’s a four-round warm-up fight for her leading up to her goal of the Canadian Bantam Weight Belt in Calgary on April 4.
“It’s going to be really tough because we had to move up two weight classes,” says Sims. “She usually fights at 115 lbs. This fight is at 122.”
Sims says Maerz’s opponent is taller and heavier.
“It’s going to be a tough fight but that’s what we’re looking for to make sure she wins that Canadian belt in April.”
