Jerry Doiron-Gould is coming full circle.

He resigned as chairman of the Moncton Boxing and Wrestling Commission last month, but didn't stay out of the fight game long. He has joined New Generation Productions, a Moncton company which has revived the local professional boxing scene in the past year.

"I've been involved in boxing all my life," said Doiron-Gould. "I just felt that I still had a lot to give the sport of boxing. I feel comfortable working with Dwayne and Karen Storey in the promotion business.

"I feel that we make a good team and we can accomplish a lot together. It's a new challenge for me and I'm looking forward to it. It's going back to my early roots when I was promoting boxing and training and managing boxers."

Doiron-Gould is the events manager for New Generation Productions. The company will stage a seven-bout card on April 10 at 7 p.m. in the CEPS Building at l'Université de Moncton.

Julien Collette of Bouctouche and Warren Porter of Doaktown, both 3-0, will clash for the championship belt in a series that's called The Next Great Heavyweight. It started out with 14 competitors.

This card will also feature Phase III in The Next Great Cruiserweight and the start of The Next Great Lightweight. It's down to four competitors in the cruiserweight class and there are eight hopefuls in the lightweight division.

Discounted ticket prices are in effect until tomorrow -- $28 for general admission, $64 for ringside and $640 for a nine-seat VIP table. The regular prices are $35 for general admission, $80 for ringside and $800 for a VIP table.

The sales outlets are Frank's Music and the Manhattan Bar and Grill in Moncton, CC's Lounge in Shediac, Joanne's Video and Musik in Bouctouche, Babin's Barber Shop in Richibuctou, Bill's Quick Way in Chatham, Joe's Kwik Mart in Eel Ground, Fritou's Chicken in Blackville and the Doaktown Village Restaurant.

Tickets are also available online (www.thenextgreatheavyweight.com) or by calling 961-4265.

This will be the fourth pro boxing card that New Generation Productions has staged in Moncton in 10 months and they've all drawn 1,200 or more fans. There was an eight-year period with no pro boxing here prior to this.

"Dwayne and Karen Storey have done a real good job of getting this series off the ground," said Doiron-Gould. "They came up with a plan to revive pro boxing in Moncton and I certainly feel that we're on track."

Doiron-Gould, 64, spent 16 years with the Canadian Professional Boxing Federation. He was a three-time president of that organization and also served as vice-president and chairman of the championship committee.

He began working for the Moncton Boxing and Wrestling Commission in 1988 and was chairman from 1989 until this year.

He was on the board of directors for the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame and did a stint as vice-president of the Ontario Boxing Association. He was inducted into the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Moncton Wall of Fame in 1989.

"His knowledge and influence in the boxing world is vast," said Dwayne Storey. "He's well connected across North America and he knows the sport inside and out. He knows how to run events. He's been involved in the sport in every capacity.

"There's nobody in Eastern Canada who has more resources than him in pro boxing. He's going to bring a lot to the table in what we're trying to accomplish."
