Brendon Smith

We've been in constant contact with the lawyer and he's confident a visa should be granted by mid-April. Mick still has the deal with North East Promotions over there, and if things go according to plan will have his first US fight in May.

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.
