Nope! Everyone from absolute beginners to folks with a few fights under their belt are welcome. Tryouts give us an overview of everyone's technical skill level and general fitness, but more than anything we're looking at your effort. If you're not the most experienced boxer but you know how to push and work hard, you will be welcome!

Contenders need to fundraise $2000 to be in the running to earn a fight for the fight night.
Nervous about fundraising? The team at Eastside Boxing are happy to brainstorm ideas with you and support your events. Contenders in the past have held 50/50 raffles, silent auctions, or simply shared their involvement on social media.

Short answer no. Long answer, a lot of factors come into choosing the fight card from weight match ups, to skill match ups to people blowing the fundraising target out of the park. We do our best to ensure people get a fight.
-
We will have Eastside Rumble training classes on the schedule starting May 20th. Contenders are only required to attend 2-3 classes per week. These classes will vary from morning classes to evening classes.

Our Story
For more than 30 years the Astoria Boxing Club ran a non-profit youth program that provided a safe space and mentorship for at-risk youth in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. In the Spring of 2012, the gym’s funding was cut and the club was forced to close its doors.
Later that year, the Aprons for Gloves Boxing Association was established and organized the first annual Restaurant Rumble, a fight-night fundraiser that raised over $100,000 to open a new gym: Eastside Boxing Club. AFG and Eastside were developed by a small group of professionals and entrepreneurs who seized an opportunity to re-establish a historic boxing program for at-risk youth. The new club also offered outreach programs specifically for women, survivors of domestic violence, frontline workers, and members of the LQBTQ+ community. These programs were designed to offer free mentorship and training to individuals who may otherwise not have the resources or support to participate in recreational sports.
After only six months of operation, a devastating fire forced the club to close. Again, with help from the community and another successful Restaurant Rumble, Eastside was reborn in 2014 in the historic Chinatown neighbourhood at 238 Keefer Street, continuing on the mission to provide boxing training and mentorship opportunities for anyone that is interested in learning the sport, particularly providing a space for youth to train for free.
With the advent of Covid and barely surviving the slow return to life, Eastside Boxing Club gratefully rose from the ashes, yet again.
We are thrilled to announce our latest fight-night fundraiser, Eastside Rumble.
