Thank You again Zankye for helping out and donating to the event! It is always appreciated
Is this a good event for kids? My 8 year old is obsessed and wants to go to a tournament.
This is a great event for kids, every WBO event we have been to has been a great scene with no pretentiousness or poor sportsmanship. The rules are clear and obeyed alongside a great diligence by judges to be fair and impartial.
Our personal big hurtle with a large tournaments is patience. At 7yrs old focus can be lost so we need to be well fed and rested before we show.
