If you like to watch a good boxing or kickboxing match live and you love collecting signed sports memorabilia, here’s a tip. Why not combine your two favorite hobbies?
Every weekend, there are various fight nights across the country and some of them have signed sports memorabilia auctions in the interval. Imagine you and your friends sitting ringside or cageside enjoying awesome fights over ice cold beer or a bottle of champagne, bidding on a Joe Calzaghe signed boxing glove.
What a great night guys! And we haven’t even talked about the girls in the ring yet! In Greater London especially, there are events ranging from amateur white collar boxing and kickboxing to UCUK cage fights close enough every weekend and we’ve seen authentically signed sports memorabilia auctioned off at sensational prices.
A good example was the Ultimate Challenge UK at the Troxy in London E1. On the evening of May 9, 2009, the stage was set for a night to remember. As the wrestlers waged relentless cage battles, the beer and champagne flowed en masse. During the interval, two beautiful girls from the ring presented 10 pieces of genuine signed sports memorabilia to the cheering crowd.
The All Stars Memorabilia team auctioned off 10 selected items of sports memorabilia, from boxing gloves signed by Frank Bruno, Sugar Ray and Joe Calzaghe to signed photographs of F1 champion Lewis Hamilton and some former West Ham United stars and our Cup heroes. Soccer World Cup 1966.
The highest bidders received their shiny new pieces of signed sports memorabilia and over £300 was raised for charity.
