The storied Edison Ballroom in the heart of Times Square sets the stage for an electric night of boxing on November 7, 2023. DiBella Entertainment’s Broadway Boxing is live and kicking, celebrating 20 strong years. Tonight’s event, “Heroes on the Hudson,” is not just another fight night; it’s a salute to the brave veterans who’ve served the United States with valor.
Headliner Jamel “Semper Fi” Herring, a former WBO junior lightweight world champ and proud Marine, will throw down with Nicholas Molina, who’s yet to taste defeat in the ring. As the excitement builds, fans know this night will be packed with action as these two fighters are set to clash in a much-awaited showdown.
Before the main events capture the spotlight, six amateur fights will warm up the crowd, featuring New York’s finest and bravest, from NYPD officers to military vets. Although these preliminary fights are a treat for the live audience alone, they set the tone for the adrenaline-fueled professional bouts that follow.
You can catch the cascade of punches and the battle for glory LIVE on DAZN starting at 8 PM ET. If you’re itching to be part of the crowd, grab your tickets at Telecharge.com or dial up (800) 447-7400. Whether you’re up in the mezzanine or down close enough to see the sweat fly, every ticket promises an open bar and a night to remember. The action kicks off at 6:00 PM ET, but doors open early at 5:30 PM ET to get you settled in.
The generosity of sponsors like Morgan Stanley and AmeriVet Securities adds heart to the night’s muscle, as they help support the Merging Vets and Players and the West Point Society of New York with a share of the night’s proceeds.
Can’t be there in person? Your support still counts. Contributions to the West Point Society of New York are just a click away and will bolster the spirits of those who’ve donned the nation’s uniform.
