Fight Night at the IMU

Big George Boxing proudly coaches the collegiate Hawkeye Boxing Club, and runs shows every fall semester to provide club athletes and high school boxers with local fight opportunities.

We usually have 13-15 bouts, with visiting boxers from Iowa State, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin, and from independent gyms across the Midwest.

The next Fight Night date is TBD and you can pre-order tickets or tables for the event HERE

White Belt Warriors

White Belt Warriors is a jiu-jitsu tournament series that we hosts every fall and spring semester to provide the athletes of the University of Iowa Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club a local competition option.

The tournament is intentionally kept affordable, with a nogi, sub-only ruleset. Despite being only the fourth event, last fall we welcomed 60 competitors from more than seven gyms across three states. 

The next tournament date is 03/02/2023 and you can sign up to compete HERE
