    Classic boxing venues

    When I watch Holmes-Norton and Holmes-Marvis Frazier, I often mistaken the Sports Pavillion in Las Vegas to the outdoor arena in Caesars Palace, and it made me curious the background looks more like a basketball gym. I considered this one of those classic boxing venues in the past.

    I also remember the Mirage in Las Vegas, which was the site of Leonard-Duran 3.

      Royal Albert Hall & Earls Court... two fantastic venues where the greatest fighters in history fought.

        National Sporting Club - Covent Garden



        Sadly wasn't able to pull off some of the contests they wanted, but every British fighter of note fought there during it's day.

            The Blackfriars was bombed during the war.

            43 King Street, Covent Garden - still stands today.

            They're about a mile apart, separated by the river too.

              The smaller venues that sit down 4,000 are usually the best rooms.
