GRASSROOTS 5 — BREAST CANCER AWARENESS FIGHT EVENT
We’re looking forward to bringing our community together for a special night of boxing, awareness and fundraising.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all our coaches, gyms and fighters. Your time, commitment and support have made this event possible. We’re grateful to everyone who has helped bring Grassroots 5 to life.
Breast cancer affects more than 3,700 people in New Zealand each year, including around 26 men. It can affect anyone, so please stay aware, know your body and take any changes seriously.
🥊 FIGHTER INFORMATION
• Weigh-in on entry. Coaches, please make sure your fighters meet their agreed weight.
• 16oz gloves will be provided.
• Headgear is compulsory for fighters under 16.
• First-timer and children’s match-ups are 3 x 1.5-minute rounds.
🧑⚖️ REFEREE AND FIGHTER GUIDANCE
All rounds are to be treated as good, competitive sparring. We’re here to look after each other while testing our skills and attributes.
Each fighter may receive three warnings. Any further warning will result in the bout being called off. Quality clinching is allowed and will be monitored.
Protect yourselves at all times. Perform with grace, safety and respect—and most of all, have fun. There are no winners or losers tonight, just quality rounds and experience gained.
