Reminder… Only a few days left to make plans to attend! 🥊🇺🇸🦅
This June 6th, Sons Of Thunder Boxing Club is doing more than hosting a fight card , they’re honoring the legacy of the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.
The Operation Overlord Invitational stands as a tribute to courage, sacrifice, discipline, and the warrior spirit shared by both our military and competitive athletes. Every punch thrown, every round fought, and every ounce of preparation reflects the same grit and determination that has defined generations of American service members.
In true military tradition, every winner will receive a custom challenge coin ; not bought, but earned. A symbol of commitment, toughness, honor, and stepping forward when it matters most.
Whether you’re a Veteran, active duty, first responder, boxing fan, or simply someone who appreciates the sacrifices made for our freedoms, this promises to be an incredible evening of action-packed amateur boxing and remembrance.
