Richmond police officers and firefighters will step into the ring for a charity boxing event on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at River City Roll. The event, River City Fight Night: Red Fight & Blue, begins at 7 p.m. and will also feature three professional bouts. 

The exhibition matches will pit police officers against firefighters, with Devin Davenport, Patrick Ripley, Nico Young, Cody Adams and Duane Peppel representing the Richmond Police Department and Wyatt Mesco, Mo’Reese Moore, Shalin Shah, Jerron O’Tey and Keivon Henderson representing the Richmond Fire Department. 

Proceeds will benefit organizations selected by each department: the American Kidney Fund for the police department and the Children’s Hospital Foundation for the fire department. 

River City Fight Night is a monthly charity boxing series organized by River City Promotions. The series supports Guardian of the Gloves, a nonprofit that funds local youth boxing programs. Each event highlights Richmond’s boxing community and aims to bring the city together around themes of entertainment and giving. 

Tickets are $75 for general admission and $150 for ringside seats and can be purchased at rivercityboxing.com.
