Firefighters and police officers to square off for charity at River City Roll

Richmond firefighters and police officers will face each other in the boxing ring next month for charity as part of River City Promotions’ monthly River City Fight Night series. The event, titled Red Fight & Blue, takes place on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00 p.m. at River City Roll in Scott’s Addition.

The undercard will feature five exhibition matchups between members of the Richmond Fire Department and Richmond Police Department. Firefighters will compete on behalf of the Children’s Hospital Foundation, while police officers will raise funds for the American Kidney Fund.

Exhibition lineup

Representing the Richmond Police Department: Devin Davenport, Patrick Ripley, Nico Young, Cody Adams, and Duane Peppel.

Representing the Richmond Fire Department: Wyatt Mesco, Mo’Reese Moore, Shalin Shah, Jerron O’Tey, and Keivon Henderson.

The evening will also include three professional fights, with the main event lineup to be announced soon. Each bout will be produced under the River City Promotions banner, which has hosted monthly charity boxing shows in the Richmond area since September.

Proceeds from the series benefit Guardian of the Gloves, a nonprofit supporting local youth boxing programs. Past events have featured both local and national fighters, with proceeds distributed to rotating community causes.

Tickets are $75 for general admission and $150 for VIP ringside seating, available at rivercityboxing.com. The event will also be streamed on TrillerTV+.
