Contender Promotions Dedicates July Show to Fallen Soldier Nathan Cuthberson

by Andreas Georgiou - @AGeorgiouMMA

In the past Contender Promotions have prided themselves on putting on a show for the fans in their North East base of Middlesbrough, now they again show their class by dedicating their highly touted July 19th event to fallen British hero Nathan Cuthberson.

Nathan, who was serving his country under 4 platoon, B company 2PARA in Helmand Province, Afghanistan when he was tragically killed by a suicide device. On the July show, all Pegasus Muay Thai fighters including head coach; former PARA and armed forces, Dave Corrigan will pay special tribute to Nathan in their bouts. They will all be wearing custom t-shirts dedicated to Nathan, and believe it will strongly bond them all.

Dave Corrigan is incredibly passionate about raising awareness regarding what our serving troops go through on a daily basis. Pegasus Muay Thai actively donate and help to raise money in Nathan's name to support his family and others that have suffered the loss of loved ones.

On July 19th Contender Promotions promoter Garry Bell will be holding a minute silence to show respect for all our countries servicemen and women worldwide and to remember those real life warriors who have gave their life serving to protect our country.

For Contender Promotions to show their support to our countries troops is detrimental to the integrity and heart behind the promotion, showing the passion and love given to all of the fighters and fans involved. It is truly the Contender Promotions family.

“All fighters that step through the ropes to compete are warriors 100% but the men and women that choose to dedicate theirs life and who work hard to protect our country are the True un-sung heroes.”

“Contender Promotions are honoured to be a part of this and would really like to invite every fan attending the Event to join us in a show of respect.”
