Currently seated ringside are Karl Mahrenholz, who narrowly missed out on cashing in this event, as well as well-known British circuit favourite Maria Demetriou who caught a ridiculous late-night train from Grantham to be here; also fearsome-at-the-felt brothers Sunny and Chaz Chattha, and two time bracelet winner JP Kelly.
