A new monthly boxing series will bring world-class fighters to Richmond starting Sept. 17, with proceeds benefiting local youth programs and nonprofit organizations. 

River City Fight Night, organized by River City Promotions and Vintage Boxing Gym, will run through November 2026 at two venues: the Great American Ranch in Midlothian and River City Roll in Richmond. The series will feature WBC title contenders, Olympic medalists, international boxing stars and Richmond-area professional fighters. 

Each event is expected to draw 250 to 300 spectators and will be streamed live on YouTube to thousands of viewers worldwide. The fights will showcase four to six bouts per event. 

“This series puts Richmond on the boxing map while giving back to the community we love,” said Liz Cane, co-founder of River City Promotions. “We’re thrilled to bring together international and local champions with fans for unforgettable nights of energy and impact.” 

Proceeds from each event will support Guardian of the Gloves, a nonprofit that provides boxing access to youth regardless of financial means, and two additional local charitable organizations selected by the Richmond police and fire departments. 

The series begins Sept. 17 at Great American Ranch, featuring fighters from Ashenelli Boxing. The second event, scheduled for Nov. 5 at River City Roll, will pit firefighters against police officers in the ring. 

Other events, are scheduled for Jan. 21, Feb. 18, April 15, May 20, June 17, July 15, Sept. 16, Oct. 21 and Nov. 18, 2026, alternating between the two venues.
