A legend of the boxing world is set to hold an event in the Upstate next week in an effort to bring out the roughest and toughest the area has to offer.
The Roughest And Toughest Brawl is what is termed "an off the street amateur boxing" event similar to tough man competitions. Eric "Butterbean" Esch is a former multiple time Amateur Boxing World Champion, a former Pro Boxer and MMA Fighter.
He is presenting the Brawl at the Market At The Mill Event Center in Pickens, SC March 8th and 9th. The event is for amateurs, not trained fighters, but average everyday people who are fighting it out for a chance to prove themselves and win cash.
The Brawl feature multiple Men's weight classes and a Women's division and possible weight classes, to be determined. For more info or tickets visit https://theroughestandtoughestbrawl.com/
