Bringing Boxing Back to the Oil Patch

Hall of fame boxer and North Dakota native Virgil Hill is holding a fundraising night of boxing in Williston to re-establish a boxing club in the oil patch city.

Organizers say the August 14 event will feature five fights and two kickboxing matches.

Hill’s 1984 Olympic teammate and former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield is also expected to attend.

The 51-year-old Hill won an Olympic silver medal in 1984 and went on to win 50 of 57 fights as a professional.
