PENNER
I’m Devin Penner and I own Red River
Siding & Eavestroughs Ltd.
Why did you join Fight for Charity?
I attended the last two events and really enjoyed it. I figured if I could get a chance to get in the ring
and help raise money for a worthy cause, then it would be worth getting punched in the face.
What is your biggest accomplishment?
My family. My two daughters and my wife are the main reason I wake up every day and work hard.
What would people be most surprised to learn about you?
I’m terrified of birds.
What is your history with boxing?
I grew up loving boxing. I always wanted to try and get involved in it some way. After I had suffered
a few injuries in strength sports, it gave me a chance to finally learn.
Once my fight is done, I’d like:
To continue training. I still have a few goals left in strength competitions as well as boxing.
