Notably, the event will include a groundbreaking women’s rematch between Lexi Bolduc and Sara Couillard, the first female boxing match ever held at Fenway Park.
Doors will open at 4 p.m., with the first fight scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Tickets start at $100, and a limited number of ringside seats are available for those seeking an up-close experience. Fans can purchase tickets through the official Red Sox website.
