Black-tie gala of Ultra White Collar Boxing, a beginner-friendly boxing night where participants train for eight weeks and raise money for charity.
Ultra White Collar Boxing is coming to The Point on Saturday 28 November, bringing its black-tie boxing gala to Sunderland. It's a night that sits somewhere between a sports event and a formal party, with the ring at the centre and a black-tie dress code for the evening.
The whole thing is built around people with no boxing background. If you sign up, you get eight weeks of free training — worth £300 — aimed at beginners, and in return there's a suggested minimum charity fundraising of £50, with boxers also selling tickets to friends. On the night, everyone wears 16oz gloves and head guards and faces an evenly matched opponent, while the bouts take place in front of friends and family. They describe it as a chance to experience the world of boxing in a safe and enjoyable environment, get in shape, and raise money for charity at the same time.
It's not just a one-off here; UWCB stages these black-tie boxing events in more than 100 cities across the UK, so the Sunderland night is part of a much wider circuit. The event is for ages 18 and over, and the black-tie dress code applies to the whole evening, so it's a bit more dressed up than your usual night out.
