The Met Philadelphia hosted its second-ever boxing event on Friday since it was restored and reopened on North Broad Street late last year.
Live Nation and Hard Hitting Promotions teamed up to present a eight card bout featuring boxers of all sizes, ranging from super featherweight to light heavyweight.
The Met put live boxing back on its schedule for the first time in 65 years this past February when it started the Bouts on Broad series. The 4,000-capacity arena seats patrons right outside the ring, creating a traditional boxing ambiance reminiscent of its early days as a fighting venue.
