Lights Out Boxing Show is back this Saturday, the charity-based boxing event at The Waterfront Casino, Southport Promenad is now on its fourth iteration, the show has become increasingly popular over time with local boxing fans and party goers alike. The standard of venue and fights has led to an overall increase in the show’s production and entertainment value and this edition comes with a massive after party.
The event originally started back in 2019, and since then, we’ve seen them host three events, including, most recently, a Black-Tie event at the amazing renovated Southport Casino. This Easter Saturday event has over ten fights and a star-studded after-party featuring the likes of Anton Powers, Lee Butler, Ian Longo, and Lee Bullock.
Not only does Lights Out Boxing put on an unforgettable night of fights and after-fight entertainment, but it also raises money in aid of the Isla Rose Foundation. Their most recent event saw them raise over £2000 through sports memorabilia and high-ticket item auctions.

The unique aspect of Lights Out Boxing is that they welcome anyone who is willing to perform in front of a sold-out crowd to appear on the show. No matter what their experience may be. With that, the competitors receive a free 8-week training camp, provided by John Lund of Jab Fight Club, Southport.
There is a mixture of levels, which makes for a great competitive spectacle. The main event features two high-level opponents fighting for the Lights Out Boxing Welterweight title. The reigning and defending champion Jordan Gregg (undefeated, Lights Out title holder) faces off against Jack Kennedy (professional Muay Thai fighter with over 40 fights, Super Muay Thai tournament winner, owner of Imperial Thai Boxing Gym).
Other notable fighters, such as Rob Henshaw (2 x Northwest Area title, 1 English title, 1 Lights Out title), will also be fighting on the card. He will be looking to keep his unbeaten record intact.
The promotion is looking to branch out over the coming years, turning from a local show into a regional show. When speaking to promotor and organiser Max Henshaw earlier this week, he shared plans to take the show nationwide whilst providing top-quality matchups and raising money for charities, such as the Isla Rose Foundation.
