Emporia Spartan Boxing is back to action Saturday and Sunday in Hutchinson.
Junior Robles (139 lbs) and Mercedes Silvey (145 lbs) will be competing in the Kansas Golden Gloves state tournament Saturday afternoon. This will be Robles’ 13th bout and Silvey’s fourth.
With a win, Robles will advance to the Golden Gloves Regional Tournament with an opportunity to move onto the national tournament later this year. Robles was the 139 lbs champion and Fight of the Night recipient at the 2022 KC Golden Gloves Regional tournament held last April.
Robles and Silvey also have single-match bouts scheduled for Sunday afternoon. 13-year-old Xavier Cheney will also be competing Sunday at 120 lbs.
Sunday’s bout will be Cheney’s third of his amateur career. All fights will be held at the Memorial Hall in Hutchinson.
Fights begin at 1 pm both days.
