THE BATTLE OF BUFFALO: IRELAND V BUFFALO

Bridges Beyond Boxing-Buffalo NY is a collaborative initiative between the Ireland Amateur Boxing community and boxing communities in various cities throughout the United States. Our mission is to promote unity in communities by fostering lifelong relationships for amateur boxers.

We are thrilled to announce that Buffalo, NY, and Buffalo RiverWorks will be hosting this event for the very first time.

Bridges Beyond Boxing-Buffalo NY, spearheaded by Patrick Gorman, a retired US Marine & Army Veteran, and retired MMA fighter, is currently engaged in a project aimed at bringing under-resourced kids from Ireland to Buffalo. These kids, ranging in ages from 10 to 19 years old, will participate in the first international boxing event showcasing our talented young boxers in the Buffalo area. Our focus is on empowering these kids and guiding them on a responsible, disciplined, impactful, and meaningful life journey.

This groundbreaking event will take place on May 31, 2024, at Buffalo Riverworks, located at 359 Ganson St, Buffalo NY 14203. With hopeful anticipation, we aim for it to become an annual event in the Queen City!
