Kickboxers were welcomed onboard

Kickboxers were welcomed onboard not by a whistle but drummed onboard by a guard of honor dressed in full Napoleonic wear

The press conference
I thought I’d seen it all but I haven’t, laughed Murray. “The press conference and weigh-ins took place onboard on a huge passenger cruise liner in the Bay of Ajaccio, we were welcomed onboard not by a whistle but drummed onboard by a guard of honor dressed in full Napoleonic wear and if that wasn’t enough the captain of the ship greeted everyone of us onboard his vessel. That was a first for me.” said Murray as he went on to say. “Local hero Toussaint AndarellI who is the event organiser has done a great job with everything and has been the perfect host - he is extremely hospitable and can’t do enough to make us feel welcome, I can’t wait to see what he has planned for the event!.”
