THE VIKINGS & BARBARIANS ARE COMING PhilBoxing.com Tue, 05 Sep 2017  TGW & Smithy present Super Sunday 1, Sept 17 BY DAY THEY'RE BUILDERS, BANKERS, HAIR DRESSERS, OFFICE STAFF, TRADIES, ENGINEERS but come September 17 they'll be Vikings and Barbarians! 10 men and 4 women will jump between the ropes for three rounds competing for the inaugural Viking Barbarian Cup. Seven fighters make up team Barbarian, seven fighters make up team Viking - they'll square off and the team that wins the most bouts will be crowned the champions. They're currently in week five of a six week training camp. "Team Barbarian has been a great experience not only for the fighters but for myself," Barbarians Coach Corban Kanoveilomani said. "The team spirit has been incredible and I'm so proud of everyone in the team, they've come along way since day one of camp. "There is some real talent in the team and anyone coming to watch will see that first hand on September 17. "I challenged them on day one of camp to be their very best in everything they do - they've done that. "Win, lose or draw I'm proud of what they've done - it's a big thing to get out of your comfort zone and step between the ropes. "I'm sure the Barbarians will be more than competitive come September 17." Coach of the Vikings Steven Spark added: "This has been a great concept and the Vikings have stepped up to the challenge. "Each and everyone of them has been amazing to work with. "It's been very rewarding to see how far they've come. "I think we will unearth some hidden talent on September 17. "I hope the barbarians are ready because the Vikings are coming for the trophy. "There has been some good hearted banter in the gym which is great but at the end of the day like Corb said I'm just proud of my team and what they've achieved already. "For many getting in the ring will tick off a bucket list item, for others it was about challenging themselves or setting a goal and reaching it. "May the best team win." The Barbarians team consists of Steven Glover (captain), Dean Arnold, Jess Conway, Sam Fitton, Aggie Akenson, Shaye Glisson and Andrew Cottier. The Vikings are led by skipper Conor Swinton, Dylan Ebneter, Jamie McMIllan, Matt Haworth, Kate Ingram, Gabby Rayment and Fatty Schwerin. "It's been a great experience so far," Barbarians Captain Steven Glover said. "For me this was a good opportunity to get fit and this fight has given me a goal to work towards. "The team spirit has been great, coach Corb has been brilliant to work with as well as everyone from Smithy's TGW Gym. "We're looking forward to September 17 and hopefully lifting the cup. Vikings Captain Conor Swinton added: "It's been a great concept to be a part of. "It's a whole new experience for all of us and a very rewarding experience.
