Career relaunch for Cuban boxing trio

THE three Cuban boxers based in Cork are all set to relaunch their careers under new management.

Heavyweight Mike ‘The Rebel’ Perez, light heavyweight, Luis ‘El Leon’ Garcia and the exciting super bantamweight, Alexei ‘The Hurricane’ Acosta – all former world junior champions – have parted company with Gary Hyde who brought them to Ireland.

They are now managed by another Corkman, Patrick Thomas and, in a significant move that will undoubtedly help their careers, Thomas has linked up with Promoter, Brian Peters.
