JAN 7) Bruce Glozier will be hosting his next boxing show dubbed “The Fight to Glory” at The Coris Hotel (Formerly known as the Langham). Glozier will be continuing promoting Women’s boxing, making his main event between Tania Reid vs Karen Te Ruki-Pasene.

Right before Christmas, Tania Reid announced on her facebook that she is signing the contract to an upcoming fight. Today we find out that the Australasian champion will get her second chance for the New Zealand title at Coris Hotel on the 29th of February. Tania first shot was back in 2018 after a unanimous decision loss to Quinita Hati.

Last year after a loss to Baby Nansen, Tania sacrificed everything to start training full time to improve her boxing career and the sacrifice paid off. Tania made history becoming the first New Zealander to win the women’s Australasian title. Now with international success, she is back to claim the throne of best in New Zealand.

Navy women Karen Te Ruki-Pasene will be Tania Reid’s opponent. Karen made her professional debut back in 2018. So far in her short pro career, she has not been very active but has proven to be a tough boxer. In her debut, she won her bout by TKO against Toni Moki, being the first knockout win in women boxing in New Zealand in over 18 months.

After a year of inactivity, she made her in-ring return on the Geovana Peres vs Claire Hafner World title undercard against former WIBA World champion Gentiane Lupi. Even though she lost the fight, Karen lost by Split Decision showing she can take on the best of boxers. Karen will be coming into this fight as the underdog as she attempts to claim her first title.

This will be a slightly different event that Bruce is doing then the usual shows that he would do at ABA Stadium. “Just trying to keep to a more corporate standard for certain shows but will still use ABA for other events” Bruce Glozier said. He is proud to be promoting more Women’s boxing in New Zealand. “There is a growing need in our society to promote the interests of successful women and this event presents an opportunity for these two girls to go head to head for the PBCNZ Super Lightweight title.” Three more Professional fights will be added to the card and to be announced at a later date.
