KC Irish Center and KC Golden Gloves are teaming up to bring an evening of amateur boxing in Drexel Hall.

Calling all amateur boxing enthusiasts!

After multiple delays due to the pandemic, the KC Irish Center and KC Golden Gloves are excited to FINALLY bring you an evening of amateur boxing in Drexel Hall.

Did you know boxing is the most successful Olympic sport in Ireland, accounting for over 50% of all medals won? It also enjoys tremendous popularity, as it is seen as a competition, not a fight, as well as a welcoming and inclusive sport. It is in that same spirit we are excited to partner with Kansas City Golden Gloves to present an evening of amateur boxing at the Kansas City Irish Center on Saturday, May 14, 2022.

The evening will showcase some of the area’s best amateur boxers, including peewee, women, and men’s novice divisions. Our own Micheal Mahoney will be Ring Announcer, and tickets are available for both floor and balcony seating. A very limited number of VIP ringside tables and seats will also be available. A total of 200 tickets are available for the event. Bars will be open on both levels of the ballroom for drink purchases.

NOTE: The balcony is only accessible via stairs; there is no elevator.
