18:30-23:30 (Boxing commences at 19:00)

[OXFORD, The Oxford Union, Frewin Ct OX1 3JB]

With the Varsity match taking place in Cambridge, this is Oxford’s only boxing event of the academic year. Following the hugely successful all-women’s boxing match last term-the first ever in Oxford, 16 bouts await at the historic Union.

Challengers will arrive from local boxing clubs, ready for a tear up with the finest boxers the university has to offer. Months of technique development, morning fitness sessions, and a camp in Tenerife have provided the boxers with a chance to dazzle under the bright lights. For many, this will be the first ever experience of amateur boxing, proving the only opportunity for exposure before the team travel over to Cambridge in a few months time.

Spectators will be provided with an incredible view of the action wherever they are, with tickets starting from just £14. The dress code for this year will be formal, ie shirt and tie or equivalent, no denim or trainers. Drinks will be served from the union bar and can be taken into the main hall. Show your support for the boxers and get behind the university, join us for an action-packed evening! Do not miss out.
