If you buy a $300 ticket for the Black-Tie Boxing event being held live on SNY on Wednesday, September 5th at Cippriani Wall Street in NYC, you can then use your ticket stub to enjoy the DUMBO Fight Night at St. Ann’s Warehouse located at 38 Water Street.
For each $300 ticket sold $100 will be a charitable contribution. $50 will go to the Gleason’s “Give a Kid a Dream” program and $50 will go to the DUMBO Improvement District.
BOXING IN NEW YORK CITY GOES UPSCALE. The most expensive boxing table ever (Party of Ten $100,000 with caviar and champagne) is being presented by Gallagher Productions and Dibella Entertainment. The show will feature “Big” Mike Grant and Israel “King Kong” Garcia. Other prominent NYC and Gleason’s boxers on the card include Maureen Shea, Jorge Teron, Jimmy Cambell (from England), and Abdelghani Bousinas (from France).
DUMBO Fight Night
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, 8 PM
AT: ST ANN’S WAREHOUSE
38 WATER STREET.
(Around the corner from Gleason’s Gym)
Playing into DUMBO’s rough manufacturing infrastructure and today’s world-class cultural reputation, DUMBO Fight Night combines the beauty of the arts in stark contrast to the force of hand-to-hand combat. Accompanying the action in the ring, attendees will partake in some friendly competition of their own, bid on silent auction items, and enjoy a special menu catered by Rice. All funds raised from DUMBO Fight Night will be dedicated to the maintenance of our beloved Belgian block streets.
This is a fund raiser for the DUMBO Improvement District. Admission to the event is $50.00 per person. The evenings festivities start at 6 p.m. and conclude with the Boxing Show. The bouts are sanctioned by USA Boxing Metro.
If you wish to participate on this “pre-matched” show call New York’s number one matchmaker, Angela Querol, at 718 797 2872.
