Atlantic City is a premier destination for boxing events. This seaside city offers a unique combination of impressive venues, convenient location, and exciting entertainment options, making it a strong contender for hosting your next boxing match.
Legendary Venues for Legendary Fights
The centerpiece of Atlantic City boxing is Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall. Boasting a rich history of legendary bouts, Boardwalk Hall offers more than just a fight; it's a step back in time. However, it doesn't compromise on functionality. The venue features a perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Flexible seating configurations cater to small gatherings and large-scale events, ensuring you can create the ideal atmosphere for your event.
Our nine luxury casino resorts boast stunning ballrooms that transform into impressive fight venues. With state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, these resorts create a professional environment for any matchup.
Beyond traditional boxing, our venues have hosted mixed martial arts (MMA) matches. Venues like Boardwalk Hall are ideally suited for hosting UFC fights, for instance, and provide a platform for the sport's rising stars and established champions.
