FIGHTS & FUNCTION
Oakland’s First Boxing Tailgate Experience
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind community celebration where boxing, music, culture, and family come together.
FIGHTS & FUNCTION is a USA Boxing-sanctioned outdoor event featuring live amateur boxing, local artists, food vendors, lowriders, youth activities, and community organizations—all in the heart of Oakland.
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, snacks, and your people. Just like a tailgate before the big game, we're creating a space where friends and families can gather, connect, and enjoy an unforgettable day in the park while supporting local youth and amateur athletes.
What to Expect
-Live USA Boxing bouts featuring local and regional talent
-Live performances from Oakland artists
-Lowrider showcase & People's Choice Championship Belt
-Food vendors and local businesses
-Family-friendly activities
-Community games and youth engagement
❤️ Fundraising for Vertical Skillz youth program.
Hosted by Pantera "Coach G" (Vertical Skillz)
