As the calendar flips to a new year, the anticipation in the boxing world reaches a fever pitch. This Friday, January 9th, marks the return of Ronson Frank’s Uprising Promotions to the bustling streets of New York City. The event, dubbed ‘Winter Warfare,’ promises an exhilarating evening of pugilistic prowess at the renowned Léman Ballroom in Lower Manhattan. This spectacle is not just about the sport; it’s a testament to the power of community and the spirit of resilience.
Uprising Promotions, in collaboration with Bigvision Community, a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding young adults in their journey to recovery from substance abuse, is set to deliver an unforgettable night. ‘The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here,’ declared Ronson Frank, the visionary behind Uprising Promotions. ‘Winter Warfare is not just an event; it’s an experience that encapsulates the essence of New York City’s fight nights. We are thrilled to bring another thrilling evening of boxing to the city that never sleeps.’
The evening will showcase local amateur fighters, each eager to leave their mark on the city’s storied boxing scene. With tickets starting at $75 for general admission, and a range of premium seating options available, the event is accessible to all who wish to witness the action firsthand. Doors swing open at 6:00 PM, with the first bell echoing through the ballroom at 7:00 PM.
‘What sets this event apart is the cause it champions,’ Frank emphasized. ‘Our partnership with Bigvision Community allows us to leverage this platform for a purpose that extends far beyond a single night. While the fights are significant, the impact we are collectively making in the community is truly profound.’
Winter Warfare is proudly supported by a constellation of local boxing gyms, including Bua Boxing, Champs Boxing Club, Gleason’s Gym, Gotham Gym, Hudson Boxing Gym, and The Last Round NYC. The event is also backed by an array of sponsors such as Doho, Dude Wipes, Gameplan Skincare, Hendrick’s Gin, Once Upon A Coconut, Paper Planes Apparel, and Staccato Bakery.
The Léman Ballroom, situated at 41 Broad Street, has become a hallowed ground for Uprising Promotions. It was the venue for their most recent event, which saw former NBA Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams make a triumphant amateur boxing debut.
Founded in 2013 by former professional fighter Ronson Frank, who retired undefeated as a light heavyweight in 2014 after an illustrious 17-fight career, Uprising Promotions has carved a niche for itself in the boxing world. With a decade-long legacy of sold-out events in New York City and co-promotions across the nation and internationally, the company’s broadcast résumé includes collaborations with major networks like Showtime, as well as independently produced international pay-per-view events in both the United States and Jamaica.
As fight night looms on the horizon, Winter Warfare promises to add another electrifying chapter to Uprising Promotions’ growing legacy. For the latest updates and information, ensure you are connected with Uprising Promotions online and on social media: @UprisingNYC.
