Nemea Boxing's Fight Night 3 brought amateur boxing to an outdoor setting in Las Vegas' Arts District on Sunday night. KSNV reported that the card went ahead despite a rainstorm threat. The event followed an earlier indoor Fight Night staged by the gym.
KSNV reported that men, women and young boxers took part in Fight Night 3. After the event, KSNV Sports Director Bryan Salmond spoke with gym owner Ben Stanoff about how the outdoor card came together in downtown Las Vegas, according to KSNV.
From Sydney to an Undefeated Pro Record
KSNV reported that Stanoff came to Las Vegas from Sydney to pursue professional boxing and finished with an undefeated 4-0 record before leaving competition. He then turned to running Nemea Boxing, using the gym to develop emerging fighters. Fight Night 3 brought that amateur program into an outdoor setting.
A Track Record Built Indoors First
Nemea Boxing previously held a Fight Night indoors at Mark Shunock's The Space in Las Vegas. That card included boxers ranging in age from 10 to their 40s, according to News 3 KSNV. The venue's listing for the event, posted on thespacelv.com, described a live amateur boxing card featuring local talent and rising stars, with 30 fighters and 15 rounds.
The move from The Space to the Arts District shifted the card from an indoor venue to an open-air setting, where weather was an added contingency. KSNV reported that the rain threat did not prevent Fight Night 3 from going ahead.
What the city permit guide says
The City of Las Vegas’ special-event permit guide classifies events with fewer than 10,000 attendees as Tier 2 when they involve features such as using or affecting a street or sidewalk, temporary structures, temporary electrical power or amplified sound. The guide describes general permit categories; it does not establish which permits Fight Night 3 obtained.
