WKU’s Sigma Chi Fraternity hosted a “Fight Night” on Friday, March 31 to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
Semi-pro boxers and fraternity men boxed in front of hundreds of WKU students, alumni, and families to raise money for the cause.
“Fight Night is our coveted philanthropy event,” KJ Kearney, Sigma Chi junior, said. “We get USA boxing to sponsor an event where we have semi pro fighters and Greek life box each other, so we’ll have up to 10 to 20 fights. It’s all regulated.”
Two months before the big event, Sigma Chi sent out a sign-up link to all the fraternities. Three WKU fraternities had men sign up, which were Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Tau Delta, and Sigma Chi. A member from the Sigma Chi Chapter at the University of Kentucky signed up for the event and a Sigma Phi Epsilon member from the University of Louisville signed up as well.
These fraternity members spent months training and preparing for this event. Some of them had never boxed before signing up to compete in Fight Night.
