For the first time in nearly seven decades, boxing returns to Fenway Park after 69 years. Boston’s legendary stadium will become a fight arena on June 7, with a lineup of 11 fights that promises to revive the excitement of the sport in a city with a rich pugilistic tradition.
Boxing Returns to Fenway Park
Organized by Nolan Bros. Boxing Promotions, the event marks a historic moment. The last time boxing was seen at Fenway was in 1956, when Tony DeMarco defeated Vince Martinez.
Now, the action returns in a modern yet historic setting in the Big Concourse area of the stadium.
The main event fight will be between undefeated super middleweight Laurent Humes and Thomas O’Toole. In addition, the card includes such fights as Rico DePaolis vs. Anthony Hines, Ross Rodriguez vs. Greg Bono y Sheniell Rodriguez vs. Jayson Colon .
One of the most anticipated moments will be the women’s bout between Lexi Bolduc and Sara Couillard, which will be the first women’s fight in Fenway Park history.
Doors will open at 4 p.m. and the first fight will begin at 5 p.m. Tickets are on sale now starting at $100, with a limited number of ringside seats available through the Red Sox official website.
This return represents not only a sporting event, but also a celebration of Boston’s boxing legacy. “This event marks a great moment for boxing in Boston,” commented Matt Nolan, co-founder of Nolan Bros. Boxing Promotions.
With excitement and nostalgia in the air, boxing fans are preparing for an unforgettable night in one of the most emblematic stadiums in the world.
