LOCAL police have undergone seven weeks of intense boxing training and are ready to get in the ring during the Station of Origin fight night in Rotorua.
The fight night is being held tonight at Rotorua Girls' High School, pitting police stations against one another in the boxing ring.
The fight card includes 13 bouts, 12 of which will feature policemen and policewomen, plus one professional fight. The first fight will start at 7pm.
The red corner will include representatives from the Rotorua and Tokoroa police stations, while the blue corner will feature fighters from the Tauranga, Te Puke, Whakatane and Opotiki stations.
RotoVegas Boxing Gym head coach Aaron Warren, who is helping organise the event and has trained the red team, said the Rotorua and Tokoroa fighters were in pretty good shape.
