ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The Bear Den Boxing Club is bringing a professional boxing event to St. Joseph. <\/p>\n
This marks the first professional boxing event to take place in St. Joseph since 2019. <\/p>\n
The Bear Den Boxing Club has put on three amateur events in St. Joseph. However, this will mark the first pro boxing event the club has hosted.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people want to be a part of this show. We’re very excited about it. It’s a huge, huge opportunity to put on a professional boxing match. And then also adding your amateur team to it. It’s just amazing,” said Byron Polley, owner of The Bear Den Boxing Club.<\/p>\n
When Bear Den Boxing opened its doors back in March of 2022, the gym had just five members. Three years later, they are on the verge of hosting a professional event containing seven pro fights.<\/p>\n
Not only will this be the first professional event the Boxing Club has put on, but the co-main event will also feature Bear Den boxing co-owner, Colby Courted.<\/p>\n
“It’s definitely awesome that, you know, where we came from to what we are. Now that, you know, we can do this, we’ve put on, I think, four amateur shows and, this being the first pro-am that we’re doing, and then I get to be a part of it is special, and it’s awesome that I get to do it,” said Colby Courted, professional boxer and co-owner of The Bear Den Boxing Club.<\/p>\n
