Additional Info: Crown Boxing has partnered with Crown Theater & Nightclub in the intimate venue housed at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino to begin presenting a series of Friday Night Fights. The events, to kick off Labor Day weekend, will feature some of the best up-and-coming fighters. The previous Friday Night Fights series maintained years of successful runs, providing entertainment to more than 50,000 fight fans.



The concept of staging the fights in the unique venue allows for fans to stay in the excitement and in the middle of all the action when the venue transitions to a nightclub after the final bell has rung and a winner is declared.



Crown Boxing, known for presenting exciting, competitive fights, will again start with a series of great bouts headed by UNLV’s Henry Namauu who was very impressive in his victory as part of the Holyfield/Botha undercard earlier this year, featherweight Rocco Santamauro and an action packed female bout between Crystal Hoy from the Philippines (described as the female Manny Pacquiao) and Mandy LaPointe.
