NOTABLE DATES

ELTON Felix Dharry had three fights against Orland Rogers and won all. The last time the two met was on April 20, 2013 at the Princess Hotel and Casino. The USA-based Dharry took the vacant Guyana bantamweight title following a third-round technical knockout.Known as `The Coolie Bully’ Dharry became a professional in 2004 at the age of 19. He had three fights without tasting defeat but then went on a losing spree. In a two-year span starting in 2007 Dharry lost five of the six fights he contested.
However, he recovered after that and has not looked back since. The December-born fighter became the World Boxing Council (WBC) Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) bantamweight champion after stopping compatriot Dexter Marques at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The fight was staged on May 28, 2011 and Dharry put Marques to sleep with one minute left in the seventh round. Marques entered the ring with a record of 8-1 and has not been defeated since.
On the other hand, Dharry has improved leaps and bounds and is undefeated in 15 fights dating back to 2009. In December 2014 he added the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental title to his treasure chest following a unanimous decision victory over Nicaraguan Jose Rios.
`The Coolie Bully’ has fought twice in 2015 and once this year and has a record of 20 victories, five defeats and one draw. He is currently on the road to a world title.
