The Comeback of the “Fight Party”

After a long hiatus due to the pandemic and various other reasons, fight culture is finally making a comeback. Not only are professional and influencer boxing bouts available this year, but small, intimate community events are also returning. This resurgence is especially exciting for those eager to back up their social media-filled boxing content and prove they’re the coolest in town within the wide community of combat sports enthusiasts.

The fight party culture began with “Rookie Fight,” where amateur and elite-level boxing bouts took place in the most talked-about bars in J-town. Suddenly, everyone is joining the trend. Whether it's on a big scale like in a bar or a large club, or on a smaller scale such as in coffee shops, people are stepping into the square circle to compete in front of friends and potential fans, especially in today’s world, which is filled with social media validation.
