We know the men and women of the US military are strong, courageous and most certainly brave, but have you ever wondered how they unwind after a busy day? Watching the television, or a walk in the park? Maybe for some, but for ten American soldiers stationed at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in England it seems their chosen hobby is yet another active, dangerous activity, but one of a fun nature and not the required seriousness of their everyday life. These ten soldiers are boxers.

On May 3rd in Bury St Edmunds, which is near Norwich and Cambridge, ten military men will fight ten British boxers in 'USA vs UK For All The Glory II'. The ten brave Americans train as extensivley as a professional boxer would, meaning the ten bouts should be epic in every sense of the word. The main event will see Beck take on Feoria

The event will have near 1,000 fans cheering the boxers on, and there will also be a celebrity guest appearance, charitable events, ans a popular London DJ providing the music for the event. One man who will be in action is Oscar Campos-Ortiz, who is from Dallas, Texas. His love of boxing developed when he was stationed in Japan and he watched Manny Pacquiao in action. Now it seems it's his turn to step in the ring. He explains his love of the sport, saying "Boxing has taken me far in life and I enjoy that feeling".

Who will win more fights, the USA or the UK? Either way it should be an action packed night.
