Boxing card
The St. Albert Boxing Academy hosts its Boxers Against Bullying club card today at St. Albert Community Hall.
Doors open at 1 p.m. and the first of 10 bouts starts at 2 p.m.

Scotty (Bulldog) Olson, the flyweight gold medallist at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, and Ryan (The Real Deal) Ford are expected to be in attendance to sign autographs.
Boxers Against Bullying is the first fight card in St. Albert since The Home Opener at Sir George Simpson School in 2017 when the St. Albert Boxing Academy replaced the Simpson-based St. Albert Boxing Club.
