The Round13 Boxing Club and Boxlite Promotion Inc. will host the 'New Generation' Pro-Am boxing event at the Tony Rosa Community Center in Palm Bay on Saturday, March 28. The event will include both amateur and professional matches, giving fans in Brevard County a chance to watch fighters compete. Doors open at 4 p.m. with the first bout starting at 5 p.m. The venue is located at 1502 Port Malabar Blvd NE in Palm Bay. Tickets are available for purchase online at Boxlitepro.com.
The event is part of an effort to bring competitive boxing to the Space Coast. Organizers said the mix of amateur and professional bouts will highlight talent from across the region. Local boxing enthusiasts have been invited to attend, with some fighters traveling from outside Brevard County to participate. The Tony Rosa Community Center has hosted similar events before, but this is the first time the 'New Generation' name has been used for a Pro-Am event in the area.
Boxlite Promotion Inc. has organized several boxing events in Florida over the past two years. The company’s president, who is also a coach at Round13 Boxing Club, said the event aims to provide exposure for up-and-coming fighters. The organization has partnered with local gyms to recruit participants, and some of the bouts will feature competitors who have previously competed in national amateur tournaments.
Tickets can be purchased online ahead of the event, with prices starting at $15 for general admission. The event is expected to draw a crowd of around 200 people, according to organizers. No food or drinks will be allowed inside the venue, but there will be seating available for spectators. The final bout is scheduled for 9 p.m., after which attendees can stay for a meet-and-greet with fighters.
