“We are excited to come back to Polar Park,” promoter Chuck Shearns said. “Last year’s event exceeded all expectations and this year’s will be bigger and better. The energy and atmosphere at this venue is unlike another.”

“Last year’s ‘Punch-Out at Polar Park was a smashing success with smiles on everyone’s faces and fantastic feedback all around,” Ball added. We’re gearing up for an even more epic event this year. We’ve fine-tuned prices, opened up luxurious suites for the ultimate experience, and expanded into the clubhouse level for maximum excitement. Let’s make memories together!”
