Boxing Tickets


There are few sports as iconic or thrilling as boxing. Pitting two fighters against each other in the ring has given the world some of the most exciting moments in sports history. From featherweights to heavyweights, undercards to main events, boxing events display the speed, skill, and knockout power of fighters from all over the world. Boxing has made many fighters over the years into household names, including Muhammed Ali, Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Joe Louis, Tyson Fury, Chris Eubank, and Canelo Alvarez.

While boxing’s heyday of the 1920s and 1930s, when neighborhood heroes represented their entire communities in the ring, has long since passed, the sport is still very popular, and the fighters are stronger and more technical than ever before. Modern boxing stars come from all over the globe, now representing whole countries instead of neighborhoods, and compete to become champions in their weight class. International boxers like Vasiliy Lomachenko from Ukraine, Janibek Alimkhanuly and Gennady Golovkin from Kazakhstan, George Kambosos from Australia, Karim Guerfi from Algeria, and Kaisee Benjamin from England are just a few of the exciting fighters that have emerged on the world’s stage to engage in title fights. There are also many exciting female fighters in the ring, including Marie-Eve Dicaire, Brenda Carabajal, and Claressa Shields.

The History of Boxing


Boxing is beautiful in its simplicity. Just two opponents going head-to-head, trying to knock each other down until one is victorious. It’s no surprise that boxing is one of the oldest sports in existence, first showing up as a formal Olympic event in 688 BCE. While the sport has gone through a variety of iterations over hundreds of years, modern boxing, with gloves, referees, and clearly outlined rules, became hugely popular in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, producing some of the greatest fighters to ever step into the ring and signaling a new era of prosperity in the sport. Prize fights and title matches began to yield larger paydays and attract bigger audiences, and soon iconic fighters started to capture the imagination of boxing fans worldwide. With the advent of cable television and charismatic stars like Muhammed Ali, boxing became a staple in modern American sports and has remained there since. Today, there are many professional organizations, collegiate competitions, Olympic-style amateur bouts, and carefully divided weight classes where boxers can compete.
