JJ & Kims Boxing Club is holding it's annual RUMBLE NIGHT PARTY next weekend! This time in their Stay City location. They've also gone up in venue size to allow more people to attend.
Now, this larger venue won't change the fact that the tickets will basically disappear, so BE READY on your apps to RSVP! Bonus: VIP Lounge is returning (stories from last year still populate our break room).
For those unfamiliar, Rumble Night is one of THE events in the boxing world. It’s like prom night for boxing nerds, fans look forward to getting dressed up, attending a huge party all while mingling with world-renowned fighters, trainers and fellow fight enthusiasts. Several attendees are acknowledged in a ceremony for their contributions to the boxing community, and that year's charity fundraiser is recognized and receives a crazy amount of donations, always exceeding the goal.
Then there’s the boxing! After the exhibition match, two professional fights take place, this year in the Heavy Weight and Light Heavy Weight class.
The party is open to all ticket holders and doors open at 6 PM, giving guests plenty of time to grab drinks, meet fellow fans, and just enjoy the atmosphere before the main events.
For VIP members, the Lounge (this year sponsored by Big Purr) will be open throughout the evening, offering a premium experience with the best seats in the house, special drinks, and also private settings to enjoy the event in style.
Now, for the single most asked question (you guys can stop emailing us now):
"Will the owners be there?"
All three owners will be present again this year!
"Will the owners be boxing??"
YES. But we cannot tell you whether or not President Namjoon, Vice President Seokjin, or VP Jungkook will all be a part of the actual exhibition again.
Many are hoping for a repeat of Jin and Jungkook's exciting and hilarious sparring match. Where—after hearing Namjoon's "Now keep it clean guys, let's be presidential"—VP Jungkook immediately pulled off his tank top and drenched himself with a full bottle of water as if he were hot, even though the bell had not been rung, and he hadn't yet worked up one single drop of sweat. Not to be outdone, VP Jin's top also came off, followed by a double two-handed water bottle pour over his head. The two then proceeded to work the crowd up into a righteous frenzy as they went toe to toe, half boxing, half wrestling each other around the ring, employing an array of hilarious and questionable maneuvers to win. (Just in case you're new here, we won't spoil the outcome for you. You can find the official video of the exhibition match on JJ&K's site! Just click on their logo in your app, you're welcome.)
And just a little info nugget, our anonymous source has informed us that President NJ has been working with a trainer on his boxing technique very diligently for the last few months! Well well, we wonder what this could mean, but we'll have to wait to see what happens this year, keep your eye on us for updates!
