Young Goodwin ready to take her first steps as a promoter

Olivia Goodwin has announced that her first professional boxing event, SEARCH AND DESTROY, is set to take place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 4th June 2011. What makes this such an historic moment is that Olivia, who is just twenty years old, becomes the UK’s youngest person ever to promote a professional boxing event by a country mile.

Olivia (daughter of current promoter, Steve) also joins Jane Couch and Miranda Carter in an elite clique of women that have managed to break into the male dominated pro boxing promoter ranks. Olivia’s plans for her first event belies her tender years; it’s clear she has excellent negotiating skills and a cool head, as she has secured not one but two title fights to co-headline her maiden show as well as putting together a substantial quality undercard.

The first of the headline bouts features former English title challenger Ryan 'Mr Attitude' Barrett undertaking the first defence of the International Masters Lightweight title against Geoffrey 'The Tiger' Munika. Co-headlining is Toks Owoh, who will take on Romford’s unbeaten Tony Conquest for the vacant British Masters Cruiserweight crown.

Good luck Olivia!
