Fight Night is an AU-run night of boxing matches between different sports teams within the AU. Last year, it was hosted at York Hall, an international boxing venue, and over a thousand people attended.
Alyssa Chong, one of the selected participants said, “I decided to sign up for Fight Night with the goal to improve my boxing skill and technique. I hope that, by the end of this, I’ll come out a better boxer, regardless of if I win or lose. I think Fight Night will be a great watch this year as everyone fighting is hungry to win. It would be great to see people come to support!”
