Logan Enns of Boxe Neepawa returns to the ring this weekend. The 15-year-old is competing at the Peak Performance and Athletics boxing event, on Saturday, June 25 at the CanadInns Roadhouse in Brandon.  

The event will be split into the junior exhibition card, featuring under-18 fighters who are still  relatively new to the sport, and the adult card, which will feature professional boxers from across the prairies and northern United States.

Enns, who had his first amateur boxing match and victory back in February, said he’s feeling very good about his chances going into the contest.

“I have a lot of confidence going into this bout. Even for my first fight earlier this year, I wasn’t nervous. This time, not much has changed,” said Enns. “As for preparations for this weekend, my training has progressed really nicely. The style of fighting I used in my first match worked really well, so I am planning on using a similar mindset for this bout.”

Derek Pearson, the owner and operator of Boxe Neepawa, worked Enn’s corner during his first amateur bout back in February. After that fight, Pearson noted that Enns handled the circumstances surrounding the matchup expertly and was able to focus  on his opponent.

The Peak Performance boxing event, at the Great Western Roadhouse Bar and Grill in Brandon, will start at 6:00 pm with the junior exhibition card. Those matches will conclude by 8:00 pm. Then, after a sixty minute intermission, the main card will start at 9:00 pm
