To everyone who attended the 2026 Twin Cities Battle of the Badges last night, thank you.

Your support, energy, and generosity helped make this our biggest and most impactful event yet. Whether you purchased a ticket, sponsored the event, volunteered, stepped into the ring, donated, or simply cheered from the crowd, you played a part in something truly special.

This event is about more than boxing. It’s about bringing our community together, supporting those in need, and showcasing the dedication of our first responders. None of it would be possible without you.

A special thank you to Nate and Chris for graciously accepting their nominations as our Twin Cities Battle of the Badges charity recipients.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us and helping make a difference. We are honored by your support and can’t wait to see you again next year. Feel free to share any of your memories with us.
