Corporate Fighter Charity Boxing Event in partnership with The Sydney Hookers boxing club, at Royal Randwick Racecourse to Support ACON, Pride in Sport.
Announcement posted by Corporate Fighter 28 Jul 2023
This exceptional evening of sporting prowess and philanthropy aims to bring together the largest collaboration of LGBTQIA+ fighters and raise funds for ACON, Pride in Sport, who are a national not-for-profit sporting inclusion program specifically designed to assist sporting organisations of all levels with the inclusion of employees, athletes, coaches, volunteers and spectators with diverse sexualities and genders.
The Charity Boxing Event promises to be a night to remember, with more than half of the participants representing the LGBTQI+ community through its collaboration with Australia’s only LGBTIQA+ boxing club, The Sydney Hookers.
The Sydney Hookers founder, Shaun Jacobs, describes the event as an “opportunity to break the glass ceiling of diversity in sport and boxing particularly. This is a pivotal and overdue milestone in our journey towards a more inclusive and equitable society, which makes our partnership with ACON’s Pride in Sport and Corporate Fighter so important. By championing equal opportunities, creating safe spaces, and promoting diversity at all levels, we pave the way for a brighter future where athletes of every gender, race, ethnicity, and background can thrive and inspire.”
These inspiring LGBT+ fighters and their allies have already united their efforts and passion to raise over $10,000 for ACON, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those they support. Proceeds from the Charity Boxing Event will directly benefit ACON, Pride In Sport, enabling them to continue their essential work around sporting inclusion programs.
This thrilling evening will feature exhilarating boxing matches that showcase the remarkable skills and dedication of the fighters. The Winx Room at Royal Randwick Racecourse will be transformed into an extravagant venue, adorned with a red-carpet welcome, adding a touch of glamour to the night's festivities. Attendees can expect to be treated to a memorable experience that combines the thrill of high-stakes boxing with the joy of supporting a worthy cause.
"We are thrilled to be organising this extraordinary Charity Boxing Event in support of ACON, Pride in Sport," said Josh King, the event's promoter. "We aim to bring together people from all walks of life to celebrate diversity and inclusion while raising funds for a cause that is close to our hearts. With the incredible support from the LGBTQIA+ community and other generous donors, we hope to make a profound impact on the lives of those who benefit from ACON's vital services."

Their unwavering commitment to the cause exemplifies the spirit of unity and compassion that underscores the mission of ACON, Pride in Sport.
The Charity Boxing Event at Royal Randwick Racecourse promises an unforgettable night of excitement and camaraderie, all in the name of supporting a worthy cause.
