As professional boxing continues to evolve in markets that prioritize experience over excess, a new live boxing platform is taking shape in Cleveland. Rather than chasing scale or spectacle, the effort focuses on presence, craft, and long-term sustainability.
Guided by Cleveland native and former professional fighter Tim VanNewhouse, the platform reflects a perspective shaped by years spent both inside the ring and across the professional boxing landscape. VanNewhouse’s career has included competing, managing fighters, promoting events, and working alongside many of the sport’s established figures. Throughout that work, his long-term vision has remained rooted closer to home.
“Cleveland has always had fighters and fight fans,” said VanNewhouse. “What it hasn’t always had is a consistent, modern platform built with care.”
Through Newhouse Boxing, VanNewhouse is developing a series of live professional boxing events designed around engagement rather than distance. His experience spans fighter development, event promotion, and relationship-building across the sport, informing an approach known for atmosphere, organization, and respect for boxing at every level.
The next event in the series will take place on February 28, 2026, inside the Grand Ballroom at LaCentre Conference and Banquet Center in Westlake, Ohio. Tickets will go on sale January 6, 2026, and will be available at newhouseboxing.com.
The series was established with an inaugural event under the A Night to Remember banner, which drew more than 1,000 attendees from across Cleveland’s west side and surrounding communities. That night brought together families, longtime boxing supporters, and first-time fans, demonstrating both the demand for and the viability of a thoughtfully built live boxing platform.
Digital coverage for the series is supported by BIGPLAY Sports Network, a Cleveland-based sports media platform providing broadcast, streaming, and social distribution.
As the series continues into 2026, the focus remains on continuity. Each event builds on the last, refining the format and strengthening connections among fighters, fans, and community partners.
