28 Charleston boxers are getting ready to rumble

Twenty-eight of the Lowcountry’s most determined amateur boxers will meet April 6 in 14 three-round matches to try to raise $100,000 for charities to help students and sick children.

Its called the Battle on the Bricks, and its going to be rollicking good fun as male and female boxers square off for an exciting evening of sweat, power, strategy and brawn.

“All of our boxers have used this event as a way to challenge themselves to the maximum of their abilities, said Ryan Eleuteri, a local entrepreneur known for founding Charleston Mix Bloody Mary mixer. “They have full-time jobs, friends and families and they are still getting into these gyms to train six to seven days per week  sometimes for two hours a day.

But their physical commitment extends to a genuine enthusiasm for the events two charities, the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Childrens Hospital and the College of Charleston Athletic Fund.

“They all genuinely care about these charities, Eleuteri said. “Carey Brewbaker, one of our competitors, is actually a doctor at MUSC. Mark Hodsdon, another one of our competitors, has a close friend whose daughter is currently being treated for neuroblastoma at the hospital.

“Several of our boxers are CofC graduates who have had friends who received scholarships at the school and know what an impact that has had.

About the April 6 event

Competitors are hoping to raise $100,000 at the April 6 event on behalf of the Charleston Boxing Foundation, a nonprofit set up in 2022. As of March 20, the event had raised more than $58,000.

The three-hour event, which starts at 7 p.m. at the CofC TD Arena, will feature 14 matches. Each match will be three rounds lasting 90 seconds each.

“These are USA Boxing-sanctioned bouts, all with referees and judges, Eleuteri said. “Im sure the boxers would love to knock out their opponent, but it will be a challenge as they will have on head protection for safety. These boxers have been training since December and are all true amateurs. They are an incredible group of individuals who have made a commitment few people would have the courage to make. They put themselves in a ring with another individual in front of thousands of people and lay it all the line. And they’re doing it all for charity.”
