‘Boxing Fiesta’, to be staged at the GC Foster College, is set to provide an electrifying night of boxing and entertainment on Thursday, May 7. 

The event, conceptualised and executed by final-year BSc students, provides practical training in sport event management. The night’s card will feature a dynamic run of nine bouts, highlighting a blend of emerging and elite talent across multiple levels of the sport.

The package will start at 6:30 pm.

Patrons can expect an exciting lineup, including:

• High school matchups (boys and girls) showcasing grassroots talent
• College-level bout (exhibition) 
• Three amateur contests delivering competitive intensity
• A highly anticipated main event featuring professional boxers, promising a thrilling climax to the night

Beyond the action in the ring, “Boxing Fiesta” is designed as a complete entertainment experience. The evening will transition into an after-party, giving patrons an opportunity to celebrate and socialise following the fights.

Wayne Roberts, Chairman of the Team, says, “ the event represents more than just competition. “Boxing Fiesta is a platform for athlete development, fan engagement, and the practical application of sport business principles. It reflects the innovation and execution capabilities of our students while contributing to the growth of boxing in Jamaica.”

The initiative also serves to underscore the College’s commitment to experiential learning, providing students with hands-on exposure in event planning, budgeting, promotions, sponsorship, operations, and sport production. The event has the support of the Jamaica Boxing Board. Event Details:
