On February 25th at Memorial Hall, Dayton History will host Fight Night, an evening of boxing. Muhammad Ali, Jack Dempsey, and other boxing legends have battled it out inside the hall and this event keeps that tradition alive. To get the details WYSO's Jerry Kenney spoke with Jeff Brown, founder of the Brown Institute of Martial Arts, in Centerville who’s been training the athletes for their fights.
Here's the press release with more details from Dayton History:
On Saturday, February 25th, 2017, historic Memorial Hall (Est. 1910) welcomes nearly 1,500 spectators to Dayton History's Fight Night, presented by Steve R. Rauch Inc. Fighters train for several weeks alongside Jeff Brown, founder of Brown Institute of Martial Arts, before going three rounds in the same venue where Muhammad Ali, Jack Dempsey, and many other boxing legends once went toe-to-toe.
Guests are encouraged to dress in their best 1920s outfits to match the theme of this historically inspired boxing exhibition. Beer, wine, soft drinks, and concessions will be served throughout the night.
After the fighting has ended, Fight Night's Speakeasy After-Party will just be getting started in Memorial Hall's lower level. Featuring music and a full-service bar, party-goers can mingle with the fighters and dance the night away.
Pre-sale tickets are available at Carillon Historical Park, Brown Institute of Martial Arts, and various Dayton establishments.
