'Twas three weeks before Christmas when all through the land people were witnessing boxing action firsthand.
The Fight Night before Christmas, sponsored by Crowded House Bar and Eatery, will feature corporate fights and a number of boxing debuts, says organiser Sam Rapira.
"It's going to be a big night."
Making his debut in the ring is former All-Black Chris Masoe fighting corporate boxer Steven Powell.
"Chris has been involved in boxing his whole life. His brother and trainer Maselino won the world super-middleweight boxing championship in 2004."
