On Monday evening, October 20, 2025, the 17th edition of the Ben Bril Memorial Boxing Gala will take place at the Royal Theater Carré, a special evening where boxing, tradition, and atmosphere come together. This unique event brings together young talents and established names in a historic setting that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
The gala is named after Ben Bril, the legendary Jewish boxer and referee who represented the Netherlands at the 1928 Olympic Games and was known for his craftsmanship and fairness. Since 2007, this gala has honored his legacy in the Carré arena, where boxing has had a rich history since the 1920s. Thus, the tradition lives on in an impressive cross-pollination of sport, culture, and history under Carré’s famous chandeliers.
