On Friday, May 11,  40 year old professional  electrician  Ed Jackson makes his  boxing debut  at the Chinese Cultural Center in Calgary, Alberta  as an under card feature on the “Year of the Dragon” boxing show  which stars Canadian fan fave Steve Claggett as the headliner . Jackson trained for three months and knows that some boxing fans will  consider his debut as a”bucket list” endeavor but the 6′ 6′ 275 lb heavyweight  assures everyone that he is dead serious and will give it 110 %…..he will have plenty of friends at the venue rooting him on. His opponent, Marius Zastawny, boasts a 2-2 MMA record and is o-1 as a boxer. Jackson, a native of Calgary, Alberta, worked out with highly regarded light middleweight Janks Trotter in his preparation for his “dream come true” debut.
