Richie Porte to receive Key to City
The City of Launceston will present the Key to the City to champion cyclist Richie Porte at a public ceremony on Saturday, January 30.
The Council unanimously supported a recommendation to present Porte with the Key to the City at its ordinary meeting today, following a notice of motion from Councillor Hugh McKenzie in October last year.
Mayor Albert van Zetten said that while the presentation was largely symbolic, it was an honour to be bestowed with the Key to the City.
“Richie has been a leading cyclist on the world stage for a number of years now and his performance to finish third at the Tour de France last year was simply an incredible achievement,” Mayor van Zetten said.
GGG takes on his mandatory challenger this Friday night live on DAZN.
The Seminole Hard Rock & Casino in Hollywood is the setting this Friday night as we see the return of a pound for pound star at the head of affairs.
Gennadiy Golovkin (40-1-1, KO35) makes his long awaited ring return after fourteen months away, and he defends his IBF and IBO Middleweight titles against mandatory challenger, Kamil Szeremeta (21-0, KO5).
Golovkin aims to make a record breaking 21st defence with victory in this one.
Kazakh wrecking ball Golovkin has been patiently waiting for a trilogy match with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez for what seems a lifetime, but time isn’t Golovkin’s friend at 38, and he is forced to settle for another defence of his belt here with Canelo otherwise engaged this Saturday with Callum Smith.
