Welcome back. It is a fight weekend at Madison Square Garden and a local boxer is set to put his undefeated record on the line as he continues to climb the rankings in big event news. 12 sports director Pat o'keefe has the story. Bruce Carrington's goals are not what you would call modest. I'm gonna be the face of boxing for sure. But you know, in time we, we, you know, we just, we just working towards that goal so far so good. The Brownsville Brooklyn native is seven and zero with two knockout, including his most recent bout just two months ago against Brandon Chambers on Saturday. He'll fight Luis Perso in a featherweight match at the theater at Madison Square Garden. The real dream of mine is to fight in a big room, the big garden with the next play. Like I, I really want to get to that point and you know, we're just working towards that Saturday's main event featuring another Brooklyn fighter, Temo Lopez who will fight Josh Taylor for the W B O junior welterweight title. We always come in twos and threes. It's not, you know, us Brooklyn fighters, we never just lonely. We come in twos and threes. We gonna, we gonna put on a show for sure. This will already be Carrington's third fight of 2023 with each challenge that he faces. One thing remains the same. His big brother and mentor Ike who was shot and killed in Brownsville in 2014 is never far from his thoughts. Every single accomplishment I have is bittersweet when I think about it. But you know, I know that he's not gonna want me moping around and being in sorrow and all the time and he's gonna want me to like, stay focused and continue to, you know, you know, uh, uh, do continue to write out the plan and do what we gotta do. Carrington Hopes, the next page of that plan will be written on Saturday night, Pat o'keefe News 12.
