On November 8, 2025, the 2300 Arena will be packed with hard hats, work boots, and fight gloves as Philadelphia’s toughest union members step into the ring to prove who’s the
Toughest in the Trades. These aren’t just fighters, they’re the men and women who build, maintain, and power our city, now trading tools for gloves and going toe-to-toe for bragging rights and a great cause. Every punch, every round, every win is for pride, brotherhood, and the community we stand for.
Expect heavy leather, big heart, and a crowd that knows how to make some noise. This is UNION VS UNION, all for the JCBC Veterans Fund.
The Jack Costello Boxing Club is proud to host The Union Fights, a celebration of the proud history and impact of organized labor in Philadelphia. This event brings together union tradesmen and women, veterans, and our boxing community for a night of action in the ring with a purpose that reaches far beyond it.
Union Fight Night isn’t just about boxing. It’s about giving back to our veterans and honoring our Labor Union partners who stand with us year after year. Many of our trainers and board members are lifelong union members who proudly share their experiences with the young people who come through our doors.
We see today’s boxers as the apprentices of tomorrow. The mentorship, discipline, and accountability they gain here go well beyond the ring and into their lives and careers.

In 2024, we launched the JCBC Veterans Fund. Through proceeds from Union Fight Night, we have already provided rehab services for four U.S. military veterans.
A 30-day rehab stay can cost up to $15,000, not including other essential recovery expenses. The Veterans Fund supports rehab, detox, co-pays, sober living housing, and other recovery services to help veterans rebuild their lives.
Sponsorship packages give your business a high-profile presence at the arena, on the live stream, and across our social media while directly supporting veterans and our community programs.
Reserve your sponsorship today and stand with us in the ring.
