Friday Night Fights may be a big show. But in terms of fighting prowess, Saturday's card is the main event. Professional boxing comes to the Big Easy December 1 as the Crescent City Boxing Gym (3101 Erato) gears up to host three big bouts in their facility at 8 pm. On Friday, NoDef stopped by the gym to get a handle on how the pre-fight hype was shaking out.

Freret Street Boxing Gym likes their Uptown neighborhood so much, they decided to put a ring on it. The ever-popular Friday Night Fights returns for the first time since early May with the “Sexy Summer Edition,” set to take place this Friday, July 22, at 7 p.m.

Yet again, tonight's Friday Night Fights on Freret St. has again been postponed due to cold weather. But this time, it’s really put off… ‘til after Mardis Gras. The question is: will any of us have the stamina by then? The fight was going to be a “winter wonderland show,” complete with a Frosty the Snowman. Sorry Frosty, but we hope you’ll melt before Mardis Gras begins.

UPDATED: The Fights have been moved to Feb 11 on account of inclement weather (aka "the misery outside.")

It’s that time of month again. The undeniable good time known as Friday Night Fight, hosted by the Freret St. Boxing Gym, will be held tomorrow night at 4510 Freret St. But instead of paying $15 at the door to join the pit of people pumping beer kegs and begging for blood, this time you’ll have to cough up $20. You may still get a ticket for $15 in advance by going to the gym and talking to Mike, or calling the host Kevin Jambon at 504.512.4542.

Among the drag queens, rappers and Rage Against the Machine cover band, one faithful boxing gym fixture might be noticeably sidelined at tonight's edition of Friday Night Fights on Freret St.
