Three nights, 3,000 spectators, and more than three decades of Southern tradition: Boxing Weekend 2014 is almost here. Starting Thursday night and continuing through Saturday, March 1, the Ace Miller Boxing Tournament will draw 57 amateur boxers from the UT Greek community to the ring. But the Tournament is more than a fight for bragging rights; it’s a charitable cause benefitting the Golden Gloves Gym. Formerly owned by prolific trainer Ace Miller, the gym provides training to local fighters with special emphasis on under-privileged youth. With Miller’s support, three members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon created the Tournament in 1980. Although Miller passed away in 2011, his legacy has lived on; the Tournament continues to grow exponentially every year with the help of his daughter, Tracy. Tickets for the Tournament may be purchased online or on Pedestrian Walkway from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. But Tournament Executive Director Holt Edwards, a senior in political science, recommends buying in person – it gives his brothers something to do. A single Night Pass is $20, and Weekend Passes are $40.
