The Dons' Haffner (left) fights in Saturday's main event. (USF Boxing)Aside from host school USF who will field 12 combatants, Cal, UC Davis, USC, UCLA, the College of San Mateo, and even the University of Washington are scheduled to send amateur contingents to fight.
"We're expecting a great turnout from a bunch of schools as well as some youth fighters," said USF head coach Angelo Merino. "We have about 20 bouts, and I think the fans will get their money's worth."
In the main event, USF's Max Haffner squares off against Cal's Robert Watts in a 175-pound light heavyweight clash. Both figure to make some noise at National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) Regionals in Reno, Nev., next month.
Also on the card is former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver John Broussard, who meets USC's David Ball in a middleweight 165-pound co-feature.
The S.F. Ring of Fire duo of Andre Conway (85 pounds) and Charlie Sheehy (116 pounds), the reigning Ringside Tournament national champions in their respective weight classes, will make appearances, along with UC Davis middleweight Colin Schmitt, who hopes to make a statement for the fledgling Aggie program in a bout with fellow 165-pounder Sebastian Doerner of USF.
Here's the full bout sheet, courtesy USF Boxing:
The action begins at 6 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at USFCA.EDU/KORET. Prices are as follows: $5 for students, $10 for USF faculty or staff, $20 for general admission, and $50 for ringside seats. Those rates will increase by $5 apiece at the door. Kids 8 and under are free.
