“Ringside: A Fight For Kids” held its 20th annual event this past Saturday (Feb. 24). The sold-out function was held at The Factory’s Liberty Hall in Franklin, Tennessee, and raised over $200,000 for The Charley Foundation.
The foundation was founded by event producer Carolyn Miller, and aims to fund charitable agencies that address the critical needs of children.
The Rumble on the Row fights, sanctioned by USA Boxing, were sponsored by Make Wake Artists. The Neal Agency’s Ryan Beuschel returned as Ring Announcer. Commentators for the night included Apple Music Country host Ty Bentli, Big Loud Records artist Stephen Wilson Jr. and boxing legend Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini. TikTok sensation Taylor Holder also made a guest appearance, and MCA Nashville/Interscope Records artist Kassi Ashton performed the national anthem. Luke Combs also stopped by the event to support the fighters.
Round one featured CAA’s Chris Burrus verses Homestead’s Pat Pekala. Romeo Entertainment Group (REG)’s Lacey Hayes took on Combustion Music’s Faren Rachels in round two. The last fight of the night saw Make Wake Artist representative Anthony Sansone against Red Light Management’s Tayler Bock. Burrus, Hayes and Sansone all took home wins in their respective matches.
