CORAOPOLIS, Pa. — A first-of-its-kind fight night focusing on amateur boxing was held in Pittsburgh.
“Turf Wars” kicked off in Coraopolis Saturday night at the AHN Montour Sports Complex.
Bouts included local boxers, a DJ, rappers and a show from the University of Pittsburgh drumline.
Organizers said they were excited to be introducing the new event to the public and hope it offers a wide spread of entertainment.
“You’re getting all of the things you need to have an entertaining night and get your money’s worth. Pittsburgh’s a hard-working town. They’re paying a lot of money for these tickets. I want to make sure they leave here satisfied,” promoter and fighter Bill Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson, a Pittsburgh native, squared off with veteran welterweight pro Saul Corrall for the headliner.
Hutchinson won in a 5th-round knockout.
AHN Montour Sports Complex said this marked the first of a series of boxing events coming to the area over the next year.
