It's that time of the term again when the student boxers amongst us assemble and go head to head for everyone else's enjoyment.

This year, Fight Night is happening at Newcastle Uni Students' Union, down in The Venue on Thursday 28th November.

It's a perfect excuse to get your glad rags on, head to the ringside, choose your winner and cheer them on.

There's still a few tickets left so grab yours before it's too late!

And if you fancy yourself as the next Tyson Fury or Nicola Adams then sign up for the next event here.
