Mike Tyson is bringing a three-day amateur boxing invitational to Las Vegas this March, pitching the event as a fresh launchpad for the nation’s young fighters and Olympic hopefuls. The inaugural Mike Tyson Invitational is scheduled for March 12 to 14 at the Radiant Brand Complex and will combine a live conversation with Tyson, open workouts, and a Saturday card of invitational bouts. Winners at the event will receive championship belts, and one standout will be crowned Fighter of the Night. Organizers say the invite-only format is designed to give amateurs pro-level exposure along with media access and sponsor support.
Event Schedule and Format
The weekend opens Thursday, March 12, with an exclusive conversation led by Tyson, followed on Friday by open workouts, youth training and a VIP dinner, then culminates Saturday, March 14, with a world-class amateur tournament. As outlined by MikeTyson.com, the Invitational blends competition, storytelling and fan engagement, and will award Iron Mike championship belts to winners. The site frames the Invitational as a movement to revitalize American amateur boxing and to give Olympic prospects pro-level exposure.
Tyson's Pitch For Amateur Boxing
Tyson said he is “deeply passionate about doing my part to reinvigorate amateur boxing in the United States,” calling the sport a foundation for discipline and character, according to FOX5 Las Vegas. He described the Invitational as a curated, invite-only showcase meant to connect fighters with coaches, sponsors and credentialed media. Promoters say the event will spotlight athletes who might otherwise struggle to get pro-level exposure.
Why Radiant Brand Complex?
Organizers chose the Radiant Brand Complex for its recent run of amateur cards and production-ready facilities; the venue is listed at 4301 S Valley View Blvd, Suite 20 in Las Vegas per USA Boxing. Local event pages show the complex has hosted Spring and Summer Rumble amateur nights, giving fighters a familiar ring and production staff for a live crowd. The setup is expected to support both a fan-facing card and media activations that Tyson's team says are central to the Invitational's purpose.
What's Next
Organizers say they will announce participating fighters, a full fight schedule and media credentialing information in the coming weeks, with ticket and sponsorship details to follow. Promoters have not yet released broadcast or ticketing partners. As reported by FOX5 Las Vegas, additional details are expected as the event approaches.
